In this case, if those criminals don't try and reverse the transaction (which they might not risk since the police might be watching...

    [Serious] I think the job offer I accepted may have been a scam.

    I'm getting a new TFN, a new phone number, and I'm not sure where to go to for this, but I might have a new passport made. Should I change anything else? Btw, I used an IP resolver to track where these guys are and I got France as their location. And when the guy asked me to process the money...

    I'm 18. I told my parents and they were at first kinda angry but they were calm after they talked to my mums friend who's a lawyer. I confronted the scammer about it and he blocked me. I went to the bank and told them to send the money back where it came from, but they said they can't and can...

    Nah lol, that's why I went to the police. I'm going to the bank today. When I accepted the job, the job advertised a simple office assistant job with menial tasks. After I accepted the job offer I realised what this flapping is. But unfortunately by then I had sent a lot of my personal...

    [Serious] I think the job offer I accepted may have been a scam.

    Ok, so now I'm going on and assuming this is a fraud. The guy has my BSB number, my account number, my name, my address and my TFN number. I also may have stupidly provided him a copy of my passport and drivers license. What is my best course of action?

    They do have a copy of my license. And atm I'm in a period of the job that they call probation. So I'm in a period of training for the first 2 weeks and apparently it's paid. I was told that after the training period I'll be allowed to officially work for them.
