and the fake sitesToday's AFR reports NSW police are investigating a fraud ring sending out fake high- yield prospectuses. .Because he initiated the contact, he didn't suspect a scam after providing his details on a Google comparison website, then getting the follow-up phone call from the dubious salesperson.
A British scam has been targeting customers of HSBC Australia, Pimco and Vanguard via a phishing try-on. The fraud rings have so far this year ensnared $Millions from its victims,who go into Google with those fatal words "retiree","high yield" and"compare investments".
The Financial Review found fake comparison websites such as Clearvest.com.au, Compare-investments.com.au, Marketing-aus.com or Investmentcompare.com.au that were returned as the lead result on Google under certain searches.
