Maybe the younger generations need to get into scamming. Might be an effective way to redistribute wealth.

Nah it’s illegal when we do it.
Ah, I see you were also standing very far in the back when they were handing out gravitas a while ago.
Pretty funny how the government is spending money on “awareness”, like anyone had to be reminded, and not taking actions like switching caller ID to be verified so spammers can’t just spoof any number they want.
The only reason why we don’t is the government is happy to make Australia the most scam-victimised country in the world as long as it doesn’t inconvenience cops and debt collectors. It’s unconscionable.
Wonder why they're only running this for six months. Also wonder how they're actually going to be able to go after the scammers. If Scammer Payback is anything to go buy, these scammers are all overseas.
the first operation tackling investment scams will operate for 6 months, before choosing how the new service will function following the limited scope starting point.
The centre is being stood up. It has a bare-bones team (actively recruiting) and is ramping up. Government takes time.
