“It’s a shocking feeling when your hard-earned money has gone.”

Mannu thought he was paying his builder. Instead, scammers stole his $20,000 deposit.

Stories like Mannu’s are a reminder that scammers can target everyday transactions when we least expect it.

Every story shared could help protect another person.

A joint investigation by Hamilton Crime Investigation Unit detectives and the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) commenced after a man, who is a NDIS participant, allegedly defrauded his own NDIS plan.

It’s alleged the 48-year-old established two businesses for the purpose of defrauding the NDIS, submitted false invoices for services he claimed to receive, and distributed the funds into his bank accounts.

A search warrant was executed at a residential property in the Horsham area earlier this week.

A text. A phone call. A code.

That’s all it took for scammers to steal enough money from Lindy to leave her in debt.

“They rush you through it and make you panic.”

Behind every scam report is a real person and a real story.
