Superannuation frauds, or scams, essentially target superannuation scheme members to part with their hard-earned money. Fraudsters might ask their victims to transfer their super pot into either non-existent or non-genuine schemes set-up to defraud people of their investments. Or, they might offer them cash incentives to gain early access to their superannuation benefits - referring to them as a superannuation loan. But these so-called opportunities often turn out to be a scam and leave the superannuation holder with significant losses and serious tax implications.
If you're looking to make any changes to your super arrangements, be cautious and do it the safe way. In other words, do your own research first, and seek advice from an impartial source, such as a financial adviser or accountant. It’s wise to wait until you’re armed with all the right information for your specific needs, before making any changes.
Take your time. Thoroughly check out the firm or person that you are dealing with to ensure that they are reputable and ensure that any provider or scheme you are considering is genuine.
