Australians' annual losses to scams have fallen for the first time in seven years as the government steps up its campaign to stop people being fleeced.
The insight comes in the annual Targeting Scams report, which shows $2.74 billion was lost to scams online, by phone or in person in 2023.
This figure is down from $3.15 billion in 2022, a 13 per cent decrease, and comes after the National Anti-Scam Centre was launched in July 2023.
