The consumer watchdog’s National Anti-Scam Centre has detected a sharp rise in loyalty program scams following 209 reports to Scamwatch during the past four months. 7NEWS
Customers are being urged to remain vigilant about text messages or emails from large and well-known companies saying their loyalty points are expiring.
The ACCC says these texts or emails include links to a fake website which prompt customers to login and provide credit card details to use the points, and warns “don’t ever click on a link included in a text message”.Scammers will then steal customers’ points, along with login details and personal information, which they can use on other platforms to commit identity fraud.
