In searching the internet on tax related matters while closing out your current financial year, you may find advertisements offering advice on deductions to reduce your tax position.
If it sounds like it is baiting you, consider the potential risk before you click.

Some may be seeking the opportunity to deposit malware onto your electronic device and take more personal information from you than you thought possible.
Cyber security is important: this is a reminder that there are times when what is offered might be taking more than is being giving.
