Security Advisory & Online Safety

Common scams to be aware of

Fraudsters may impersonate AIA or trusted organisations to gain access to personal or financial information.
 
Be alert to:
 
  • Phishing emails or SMS asking you to click a link or provide personal details
  • Phone calls claiming urgent action is required on your policy or account
  • Fake websites or social media accounts designed to look like official AIA pages
  • Requests for payment that are unexpected or create a sense of urgency
Scammers often try to pressure you to act quickly. If you're unsure, pause and verify before responding.

What AIA will never ask you to do

To help you stay safe, remember that AIA Australia will never:
 
  • Ask for your passwords, one time passcodes (OTP) or security codes
  • Request personal or banking details via email, SMS or unsolicited calls
  • Ask you to transfer money or make payments to a personal account
  • Pressure you to act immediately without giving you time to verify
If you receive a request that doesn't feel right, treat it with caution.

How to protect yourself

You can reduce your risk by taking a few simple steps:
 
  • Check the sender's email address carefully, scammers often use similar looking domains
  • Avoid clicking links or downloading attachments from unexpected messages
  • Access AIA services by typing the official website address directly into your browser
  • Look for the lock icon (🔒) in your browser, which indicates a secure AIA website
  • Keep your devices updated with the latest security patches and software
Staying alert is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself.

What to do if you're unsure or think you've been targeted

  • Do not respond or click on any links
  • Do not provide personal or financial information
