SAPOL are reminding locals to always log into myGov independently, and to never by a link provided in an email.

 

 

The Australian Taxation Office and myGov will never send an email or link asking you to click a link and provide a login, or personal/financial information.

 

 

If you are ever suspicious of an email or text, you can call the Australian Taxation Office on 1800 002 540 to verify or report a scam.
