🚨 Scam warning: emails (not) from the AFP

The AFP is aware of scam emails circulating that claim to be sent by Commissioner Krissy Barrett and other members of the AFP executive in conjunction with global law enforcement agencies.

These emails warn recipients they’re being investigated for various crimes and may include a fake subpoena or summons.

If you have received an email like this, please do not reply to it, open any attachments, or click on any links, as they may be malicious. Report it to police at www.cyber.gov.au/report.
