Services Australia has issued a warning about text message and email scam doing the rounds at the moment.
The scam messages say there has been unusual or abnormal activity with your Medicare service and its either been frozen, stopped or suspended, it’s on hold, or it needs to be restored.
They’ll ask you to click on a link to take action. They may ask you to copy the link URL into Google or scan a QR code. Don’t respond or open the link. These are all scams.
Medicare will never ask you to click on a link or email to update your details, get a service, make a payment or get a rebate. Medicare will also never ask for credit card details or ask you to pay to access your Medicare entitlement.
If you believe you are a victim of a scam, contact your bank immediately and contact Services Australia here.
You should also report it to Scamwatch here.
