Australian Superannuation Fraud


Now might be the time to check your superannuation after The Australian Federal Police revealed details about a major fraud and identify theft syndicate operating in Australia.

The syndicate gained access to Australians superannuation accounts and managed to withdraw funds from an unknown number of accounts by changing the person's age to the retirement age.

A Melbourne woman suspected for her involvement in the syndicate will face court tomorrow and could be facing upto 50 charges including conspiracy to cause unauthorised access and/or modification of data.

Authorities say the syndicate acquired stolen identity information on the dark web and used fake email addresses and single use SIM cards to take over accounts.

Westpac was a choice for me over the other major Banks for a couple of reasons at the time of my decision. Westpac was not over valued, looking at many of the other major Banks there prices appeared to be overvalued, Westpac was the one bank share that appeared about right, ofcourse lower is always nicer.  Valuation of Westpac shares from the Simply Wallstreet site Dividend yield (I'll talk more about this in a sec) Westpac is in the top 25% of dividend payers in Australia (5.6%) Banking industry is a necessity and is not going anywhere anytime soon.

RFF shares are trading at an almost 30% discount from its year high at $2.42 Dividend yield of 6.13% RFF has recently increased its dividend Rural Funds Group is in the top 25% of dividend payers in Australia (5.6%) Stable management with the average tenure of 9.6 years Tenants still need to pay rent regardless of an underperforming sector.
