Common questions
How quickly should online fraud be reported?
As soon as possible. Early reporting through the 1930 helpline or the national portal improves the chance that the money can be traced and held.
Is a screenshot enough as evidence?
Screenshots help, but electronic records usually need to be proved in the manner required by law, often with a certificate. Preserve the original device and data.
