Super scams
These scams usually involve individuals or companies pretending to be from a super fund or regulatory body seeking your personal information. They
may claim they need it to update your super account or verify your identity. Or they could offer to help you access your super before you’re eligible to
under law. They may claim that doing this can, for example, help you pay off debts or purchase a house. But accessing your super early can result in
significant penalties. In addition, these scams may involve high fees or charges which can eat into your super savings.
We recommend that:
- You never give out your personal information unless you’re sure it’s safe.
- You’re aware of the conditions of release to withdraw your super.
- If you’re ever in doubt, contact us.
