Electronic Funds Transfer email scam

Scammers are sending emails claiming to be from Medicare or myGov.

They ask you to update your Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) details to get a payment from us.

You may have recently got an email that says you have pending payments or a Medicare benefit owed. The email asks you to update your EFT details with Medicare or myGov.

This email is a scam. It may look similar to these examples:
