This report is the result of a study that explores how Australians aged 50 and over experience, respond to, and recover from scams.
The Scams Report forms part of the Australian Seniors Research Series.
It examines the tactics used by scammers and assesses the impact of scams – from financial losses to emotional strain and declining trust.
As digital threats evolve, the report also highlights how seniors adapt their tech habits, respond to AI-driven scams and misinformation, and adopt measures to protect themselves and seek reliable information.
