Scammers put a lot of time and money into making hoax emails and making bogus websites look real.
Don’t be fooled.
Christmas scammers will email you out of the blue to trick you into disclosing your personal information, bank account details, passwords or credit card numbers.
Fake holiday rentals are a very common scam at this time of the year, which are fake online listings for holiday rental properties.
Scammers will entice you into paying a deposit or the full amount and when you arrive at your holiday destination, the real owner has no record of the ‘booking’ or might not even rent out the property .
Which will leave you out of pocket and nowhere to stay.
Here are some ways to ensure that your dream holiday doesn’t turn into a nightmare:

Be cautious – if the price looks too good to be true, it probably is;
Do your homework – contact the company directly using contact

Buying and selling items online has become increasingly popular not only around the world but here in Australia, with over 80 per cent of us now shopping online – especially around festive season sales and promotions.
Each day, thousands of Queenslander’s choose to sell and buy personal items, particularly electronics with mobile phones topping the list.
Online marketplaces are convenient destinations to discover, buy and sell items with people in your local community. They can also be utilised by opportunistic offenders to sell stolen property or to commit offences such as theft and robberies.
Police would like the local community to be mindful when selling and buying items through these market places, many of which have their own safety tips.
Some tips to consider:

Meet in a safe location of your choice that has CCTV. For example a cafe or a shopping centre and always bring a friend
Inspect the item and if possible, make sure
