We are warning consumers not to deal with Bloomex Pty Ltd, an online supplier of local and imported floral arrangements and gift baskets, also trading as Bloomex and bloomex.com.au.

We have seen a rise in complaints about not receiving pre-paid goods within a promised timeframe, receiving items that are different to what was advertised and receiving items that are of poor quality.

Consumers have also reported finding it difficult to contact Bloomex and they do not appear to offer appropriate financial redress to their customers unless we intervene.

If you have dealt with Bloomex and are not satisfied with your interaction, you can lodge a complaint via our website or at any Service NSW centre.

Thinking about changing your licence number, passport, or Medicare details since the Optus data breach? Here's the latest information.

28/09/2022

If you, or someone you know, has been affected by the Optus cyber-attack and need to apply for a replacement drivers licence, please take note:

⚠️ There is no requirement for an Optus customer to obtain a NSW Police Force event number or ReportCyber reference number.

⚠️ Your driver’s licence number will not change – however, the Driver Licence Card Number will change.

⚠️ Impacted Optus customers can request a drivers licence online via the Service NSW website, using their personal account. Visit: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/replace-nsw-driver-licence-online

❗Customers are advised to use the website and not the application on their phones or other portable devices.

Beware of tax time scams! Scammers impersonate the ATO by phone, email and text message. Never click on links in unexpected messages and make sure you're using the real myGov platform by navigating independently to my.gov.au/

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

Beware of cryptocurrency scams telling people they’re suspected of cryptocurrency tax evasion, and asking them to ‘connect their wallet’ and provide personal information.

🛑 If you get an email or SMS like this, don’t click on any links or provide any information.

Scammers can use the information you give them to take off with your funds and steal your identity. Remember, a genuine message from the ATO will never ask you to access our online services via a hyperlink.

Warn your family and friends and visit our scam alerts page to learn more: www.ato.gov.au/General/Online-services/Identity-security-and-scams/Scam-alerts/

October is here, which means there’s just under four weeks left to lodge your tax return!

Avoid leaving it to the last minute, and lodge today by logging in to our ATO online services through your myGov account. By now, all of your info from employers, heath funds and banks should be automatically included. All you’ll need to do is check it’s correct and add anything that’s missing.

Lodging through a tax agent? Make sure they’re registered with the Tax Practitioners Board and get on their books by the end of the month to take advantage of later lodgment dates.

For more info, visit www.ato.gov.au/individuals/Your-tax-return/In-detail/Tax-essentials/
