Scam Emails targeting ASIC Customers

We have recently had a number of clients contact us to advise they have received emails purporting to be from ASIC, asking them to pay fees and give personal information.
The emails often contain a link that provides an invoice with fake payment details or infects your computer with malware if you click on the link.

An email is probably a scam if it asks you to:
- Make a payment over the phone
- Make a payment to receive a refund
- Provide your credit card or bank details
