(It's likely been on TV & Twitter by
now, so this is just to warn others,
who aren't be TV-viewers+Twitterers)
log into super-fund memberships

unless you're in retirement age, this isnt really possible

IF the scammers are able to change the date of birth (as per the original post), they could just change it to a date that means the member has passed retirement age.
I don't know if I'm missing something here, but I can't see how they'd be able change the DOBs online by logging into an account. The DOB is usually not updateable from the website. It is always only updated in the backend once documents have been received to prove that it's incorrect.
What’s with the formatting?
The question which has no answer
IVI reads a lot of newspapers.
Don't they intercept mail too?
Does this scam require that they log in to a superannuation account that has had no log in created? that would mean anyone who has created a log in isn't going to be scammed.
I had an issue with my DoB with a super fund when I tried to consolidate 2 super funds. They did not make it easy to change my date of birth.
Presumably any half decent super fund would make it impossible to just change your DoB to make you old enough to access your super without requiring proof. Otherwise anyone who was impatient could just change their DoB and start taking out their own money.
