It seems to offer a rebate from the government. Announcer: You could be eligible for a government rebate. Description: The image of the letter magically scrunches up, then un-scrunches into the image of a 1970s office with diplomas and certificates on the wall. A dodgy man dressed in 1970s-style attire walks into the scene. Voice over: Wait! This could be a scam. Title: Welcome to Stevies Scam School Music: Solo, keyboard music playing in the background. Voice over sings: Welcome to my school. Stevies Scam School. Yeah, great. Description: Stevie walks to a wall with many framed certificates. A close up of one of the framed certificates show that Stevie has been awarded as a Reformed Scam Artist. Voice over: Hello. My name is Stevie, the reformed scam artist, and Im here to teach you how to avoid being scammed. Description: Stevie walks to a blackboard. A close up of the blackboard displays the title the rebate scam. Voice over: This lesson I call The Rebate Scam. It can be hard to spot, so pay close attention. Description: Stevie walks over to a computer desk with a stuffed kangaroo and emu behind it. Voice over: In this scam, Id pretend Im an employee of the government, bank or any other well-known company I can think of. Description: Stevie picks up a phone and we cut to a woman answering the call in her kitchen. In a split screen, we see Stevie talking and the woman smiling. Sound effect: Telephone ring Voice over: Id jump on the phone, give you a call and put on my trusty professional voice again: Hello. Im calling from the Australian government regarding overpaid taxes. It seems weve made an error in our records and we owe you a sum of money! Description: At the end of the call, the half of the screen with the woman disappears and Stevie fills the whole screen again. Voice over: Now heres the catch and boy, its a good one. Ill tell them that to receive the money theyre owed, they have to pay an administration fee by transferring money into an account. The poor souls dont know what hit them! Description: We see the woman excitedly typing on her computer, Stevie laughing in his office and the woman waiting by her letterbox, only to be disappointed. Voice over: They jump on the computer, send over the administration fee and BANG! right into my account. They wait around for their payment from the government, but it never comes. They dont receive a cent! I do though. Description: We see three separate shots of other people at their computers looking excited, then cut to Stevie at an overhead projector. Voice over: Now, Ive heard many tales of these kind of tricks around the traps. Some people are told that theyve overpaid their bills, that their pension has been underpaid or even that theyre owed cash for overpaid bank fees. What a scam! Description: Stevie walks over to the overhead projector and adds transparencies with tips on how to avoid being scammed. Voice over: So be cautious of unexpected calls or letters. These organisations will never contact you and ask for up-front payment in return for money owed. And beware of fake websites. Often the scammers will send links to websites that look like the real deal. So its best to call up the company or the relevant government department directly and make sure for yourself. Description: Stevie walks through his office, towards the door which shakes as someone pounds on it from outside. Sound effect: Someone pounding on the door. Voice over: So, if anyone ever tells you they owe you money, dont always expect to see it. Just ask me landlord! Oh, sorry Betty! Music: Solo, keyboard music playing in the background. Voice over sings: Stevies Scam School. Yeah! Nice! Title: Protect yourself. Dont be scammed. Find out how.
