Spam (not the canned type!)

Spam – it’s the bane of any business, and can end up consuming much of our time as we try to outwit, outsmart, and outplay the spammers. If it sounds like a game of *Survivor*, you're right – it can be. They can slowly wear you down!

DID YOU KNOW...? Spam can be reported!

Yep, that's right — there is a government agency that will take reports of spam, both SMS and email.

The organisation is the ACMA (the Australian Communications and Media Authority).

**SMS spam** can be reported by forwarding the message to the Spam SMS service on 0429 999 888 (standard charges from your provider will apply).

**Email spam** can be forwarded (unedited or appended in any way) to the Spam Intelligence Database at report@submit.spam.acma.gov.au.

There are a few things to consider before making a complaint, whether regarding SMS or email spam. You can find more information on the ACMA website here.
