Guidance, not professional advice

Everything on this site is free educational guidance, written with care and kept up to date. It is still guidance. Here is exactly what that means.

What we are

A free, not-for-profit library of plain-language technology help for Australians. We explain what to do, in what order, and when to use an official service such as Scamwatch, ReportCyber or IDCARE.

What we are not

  • Not legal, financial, medical or other professional advice. For decisions with real consequences, talk to a qualified professional.
  • Not a case-handling service. We do not take on individual matters, investigate incidents, or act on anyone’s behalf.
  • Never a funds-recovery service. We will never offer to get scammed money back for a fee. Anyone offering that in our name is an impersonator, and paid “money recovery” offers are a well-known follow-up scam.

Your setup is unique

Guides describe common situations. Software versions, devices and accounts differ, so a step can look different on your screen or carry a risk we could not foresee. Where a step could cause data loss we warn you first, and you follow guides at your own judgement.

If something is wrong
