Our story

Why we started

I watched my own parents and friends get scammed. They are smart, careful people. Nobody had ever shown them what to look for.

I spent more than 30 years working in IT, and ran my own IT business for over 23 of them. In that world, people who work on computers in an office get regular training on how to spot a scam.

Everyone else is left to work it out on their own. That is the missing link.

When I sold my business, I wanted to give something back to the community. Scam Safety Hub is how I am doing it. Simple, free tips that anyone can follow, so the people you love are a little safer every week.

About me

Hi, I'm Alex. I have worked in IT for more than 30 years, and for over 23 of those I ran my own IT business looking after Australian workplaces.

I have seen how scams work from the inside, and I have seen what they do to good people. This matters to me because it has happened to my own family and friends. If one tip here helps you or someone you care about, that makes it all worth it.
