CSA is Child Support Agency
Fraud Prevention Team Alert - Warning to phone users 23 June 2006
CSA staff should be aware of a phone based 'scam' currently operating in Australia.

The scam is usually directed at mobile phones and operates as follows:
1. The mobile phone will record a missed call
2. The mobile phone user will call back the missed number; this
call is to an 'internet' number and can cost the mobile phone
user a $50 fee.
3. The first number has a recorded message informing that you
have won $40 and that you need to call another number which is supplied in order to collect, when this number is called the user is then billed a further $50 fee.

These calls are not expected via the CSA Client queue numbers but may impact on CSA staff issues with a CSA mobile phone or those who have a personal mobile phone.

If you receive a call on your personal mobile phone from any of the numbers below please contact your State Police Service.
