Australian Financial Crimes Exchange’s Post

The Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation, and Safety (DEMIRS) is urging motorists to be extra cautious after a surge in post-accident scams. Fraudulent operators posing as insurers are targeting drivers, pressuring them into unnecessary towing services and charging inflated fees. Some drivers, misled by online search results, are tricked into contacting "accident management" companies posing as their insurers. Victims are often told their cars are unsafe to drive, despite minor damage, and are hit with sky-high towing bills. Legislation is currently under review to regulate the towing industry, aiming to protect drivers from these exploitative practices. If you believe you've been scammed, contact Consumer Protection to file a complaint. Learn more here: https://hubs.la/Q02VNHfp0 #ScamPrevention #InsuranceFraud #TowingScams #ConsumerProtection
