We strongly encourage venue operators to check VGCCC payment invoices to ensure they are legitimate.
A venue operator recently received a fraudulent entitlement payment invoice which requested payment to a false VGCCC bank account.
The VGCCC has not changed banking details.
If you receive a VGCCC invoice, please check to ensure it contains the correct account details – VGCCC Revenue Account.
Do not pay an invoice unless you have confirmed it is legitimate. If you have any doubts about a payment request or suspect an email using our name or logo may not be genuine, contact us on 1300 599 759.
Fraudulent invoices may be identifiable by:
- emails sent at odd hours or from international time zones
- emails from suspicious, misspelt or unusual email addresses
- requests for changes to critical information such as account details or account names
- VGCCC branded materials used with unusual details such as incorrect email and website addresses and spelling mistakes
- payment details to unauthorised or personal account names.
