Be alert and watch out for scams

Australian Medical Association,

Alert Status:
Active
Issued Date:

The AMA has been alerted to a scam which has been targeting GP clinics.  

The scam is operating out of Brisbane but has snared GPs in Victoria and elsewhere. Scammers ask you to lodge your clinic details in a contact directory that looks like this: telephonebook.com.au 

Clicking on the above link won’t hurt, but it does show you how professional the scam looks.   

Do not add your clinic details to the “directory”.  

We’ve provided advice about such scams in the past which you can revisit.

Report all scams to the government’s taskforce, Scamwatch, and read for further information.
