Remember, it's not the one scammer.

I'll be there when she goes to bed and I'll be there first thing in the morning.

Oh, my God, you know, Frank's, you know, Donald sent me a text message.

Oh, great, I'll start doing it.

But my mum, I noticed that she was sleeping in longer.

So she was speaking to the scammers at 2 o'clock in the morning and then was, you know, not waking up until midday and was missing a few, like was late to a few, you know, family functions and was always tired.

And I just thought it was a health issue because I'd say, you know, what's going on?

Oh, no, nothing because the scammer had isolated her and told her not to tell anybody.

So if they'd actually told me earlier, maybe I'd picked it up earlier.

They can ask you to create bank accounts.

They will ask you to transfer monies.

My mate needs some help.

Can you do this for me, which we know is illicit funds?

So you transfer from one bank account to another.

Yeah.

I've had victims who've gone and got loans, some taking money off their home loan, not in major lots, but might just go in and say, look, I need $10,000 because the scammer said, well, I want us to buy something.

I just need a $10,000 loan.

Once that happens, I'll be able to pay you back.

You're not a problem.

They go and take money off their home loan, their savings, and they send it off to them through Western transfers and things like that.
