In Shepparton, a woman living in a caravan park recently accessed her superannuation to pay four weeks rent and bond to a suspected scammer who was advertising a rental on a local Facebook group.
Michelle Attenborough, a case worker at Shepparton Families and Financial Services who was helping the woman, said the property looked too good to be true.
