It was a quiet Friday—until my inbox exploded.

A distressed reader had just seen what she thought was a government announcement: from 1 June 2025, nobody would be allowed to touch their super until age 70. She was shocked and panicky. It was all news to me, so I asked her to send a screenshot.

What came back looked highly convincing. It was a professional-looking Apple News article featuring a photo of the Prime Minister, complete with quotes and policy details. It claimed the preservation age was being lifted to 70 and promised a 'work bonus' to soften the blow.



I told her it screamed fake news, and I was right.

Within hours, dozens more emails flooded in from readers who had seen the same article and were equally alarmed. That’s when I called the Tax Office.

They confirmed what I suspected: it was total rubbish. We immediately issued a special bulletin to all my news subscribers to warn them it was a fake.



This is AI and social media being weaponised. With a few clicks, scammers whip up a fake news release so real it fools half the country. They blast it out on email or Facebook, and their goal is dead simple: get you to click.
One wrong move, and your device is toast, your data’s swiped, or your identity’s gone.
These scams aren’t just dodgy texts anymore: they’re polished, gut-punching lies built to spark fear and chaos.
