SCAMwatch is a website run by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). SCAMwatch provides information to consumers and small businesses about how to recognise, avoid and report scams <http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/694011> . Scams that are reported to SCAMwatch will be analysed by the ACCC.
Many scams originate overseas or take place over the internet, making them very difficult to track down and prosecute. If you lose money to a scam, it is unlikely that you will be able to recover your loss. The ACCC publishes this website to help consumers recognise and prevent scams.

A new online news site will keep communities informed of crime in their local neighbourhood and policing issues impacting their lives, Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Simon Overland recently announced.
He said he hoped the regular release of crime statistics will make communities aware of what is happening in their local area so they can take preventative measures.
“We know that a majority of people access the internet both at home and at work. Education is very important. If community members can see and learn what types of crimes are being committed in their backyard, they can work with police in preventing these crimes,” Mr Overland said.
