Falling victim to a scammer is an awful feeling. It’s not only the theft of money or personal information that stings, the thought of being tricked by lowlife crooks is enough to enrage anyone.

Last year it exceeded three billion dollars.

But on 60 MINUTES, Amelia Adams reports there is finally some positive news. A major fightback is underway and it’s one that aims to turn Australia from an easy target into an impenetrable fortress.
