Spam is unsolicited commercial messages sent via email, SMS, MMS and other, similar electronic messaging media. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is the appropriate Government Agency to approach regarding any specific enquiry or complaint about spam. They can be contacted at www.acma.gov.au.
The AHTCC works cooperatively with relevant agencies in Australia and overseas to reduce the incidence and impact on the global community of such activity.
If you receive a suspect email, the best course of action is to delete it immediately. Do not follow any links, or reply to the sender. By following a link, you may accidentally download a 'Trojan' or 'key logging' program, which could compromise your security. By replying, you run the risk of receiving more emails from this source.
