Email scam circulating – NDIS Commission compliance review
Email scam circulating – NDIS Commission compliance review
Scammers sent fake NDIS Commission emails with the subject line ‘NDIS Commission Compliance Review’.
The email asks you to participate in a compliance review and attaches a ‘Request for Service Records’ form. It instructs the recipient to complete and return the information within 14 days of receipt. The email comes from an [.info] address but official NDIS Commission emails will always come from a [ndiscommission.gov.au] domain.
Do not open the attachment and do not disclose the information requested. If you have inadvertently released this information, please contact us.
This scam email:
- is not sent from a legitimate @gov.au sender
- is unexpected
- asks you to submit private participant information to an email that is not a gov.au address.
It’s OK to not respond and phone the NDIS Commission on 1800 035 544 to check if the contact was legitimate or report a scam.
