A new scam targeting customers of loyalty points programs with large, well-known Australian companies has been detected by the National Anti-Scam Centre. The National Anti-Scam Centre is warning consumers about a new text message scam currently targeting Qantas Frequent Flyer, Telstra and Coles loyalty programs' customers, following 209 reports to Scamwatch in the past four months. "While the vast majority of reports to Scamwatch received so far are in relation to Qantas Frequent Flyer, Telstra and Coles loyalty programs, it is important for Australians to be aware that any loyalty program could be referred to in this type of scam," ACCC Deputy Chair Catriona Lowe said.
