We have been advised of a scam targeting Dogs Victoria members. A scammer is calling individuals claiming to be from Dogs Victoria, stating they are seeking a payment and requesting credit card details.

Important Information:

• These calls are fraudulent.
• Dogs Victoria does NOT contact judges by phone to request payments.
• We believe the scammers are obtaining contact numbers from the Dogs Australia website judges list.

If you receive such a call:

• Do NOT provide any personal or financial information.
• Hang up immediately.

Please share this message with fellow members and stay vigilant.
