R U in Control? campaign targets fraud

Today Commissioner Ian Stewart announced the R U in Control? campaign, aimed at empowering Queenslanders and helping them avoid becoming a victim of cyber and financial crime.
The Commissioner said it had been estimated that organised crime costs the Australian economy $21 billion per year with $8.5 billion of that figure directly related to cyber, identity and corporate crime.
“While police and other agencies work to prevent these crimes and apprehend those who target vulnerable Queenslanders, it is important we fight this battle as a united front and take the control back from these fraudsters and scammers,” Commissioner Stewart said.
“Too many Queensland businesses and individuals are being targeted by criminals stealing data for use in other crimes or holding businesses to ransom for large sums of money.
“We are also seeing vulnerable Queenslanders targeted daily with cold call investment scams, malicious emails and fake website scams,” Commissioner Stewart said.
