Scams and fraudulent activity

Cybercrime and scams are increasing in volume and sophistication. Investment scams in particular are on the rise. Centuria takes cybercrime very seriously and we do everything within our power to support our investors to protect their investments.

The Australian Government has important resources to help you to spot a scam, including:

• Australian Government site, cyber.gov.au – includes latest alerts and advisories
• ASIC’s Moneysmart, which introduces and explains a broad range of financial scams
• ACCC’s Scamwatch, which provides information on the latest scams and how to report a scam.

Centuria investment opportunities will always be provided with Product Disclosure Statements (PDS) or Information Memorandums (IM), which are accessible only via this website centuria.com.au or from a member of our team.  All correspondence from our Australian business will always be from @centuria.com.au or @invest.centuria.com.au and we can always be contacted to verify any product offers at +61 2 8923 8923.

If you suspect you might have been affected by a scam or if you have used a third party website to secure a Centuria investment, you should cease contact and correspondence immediately and contact us at compliance@centuria.com.au or phone +61 2 8923 8923.

If you suspect you have transferred money to a third party in relation to a scam, you should immediately contact police, and your bank to stop direct debit transactions if you’ve shared any banking details.

If you have provided your personal information to a third party (particularly identity information such as a copy of your driver’s licence or photograph of yourself), then you should also contact IDCARE as soon as possible.

You should also consider alerting major credit bureaus (such as Equifax and Experian) to put a block on your credit profile to stop others from opening accounts and transacting using your personal information.

Latest scams

Fraudulent websites impersonating Centuria – May 2026

Centuria is aware of fraudulent websites that impersonate our business, including sites that closely replicate the look and content of our official corporate website.

These websites are not operated by Centuria and are not associated with our business. They may be used to solicit personal information or promote fake investment opportunities.

Impersonation of legitimate financial services firms is a recognised form of investment scam in Australia.

How these scams typically work

Fraudulent websites may:

• Closely imitate Centuria branding, content and website layout
• Display false contact details or enquiry forms
• Promote fake investments claiming to be issued by Centuria
• Initiate follow‑up contact after details are submitted
• Request payments to bank accounts not linked to Centuria.

These sites are designed to appear legitimate and may be difficult to distinguish from official websites at first glance.

If you suspect you might have been affected by this scam or if you have used a third party website to secure a Centuria investment, you should cease contact and correspondence immediately and contact us at compliance@centuria.com.au or phone +61 2 8923 8923.

Secured notes / Industrial fund scam – March 2023

We have become aware of the use of Centuria Capital’s name and brand by scammers to fraudulently solicit investment into two fake Centuria investment products, titled Centuria Secured Notes and the Centuria Industrial Real Estate Fund. An image of the fake PDS cover pages is provided below.

Scammers are using Facebook and other social media advertisements and third party websites, including so-called “investment comparison” websites. People are being contacted by fraudsters after completing enquiry forms via these fake third party websites. Fraudulent Centuria-branded documents, bank accounts, phone numbers and email addresses have been used, with scammers posing as Centuria staff.

If you suspect you might have been affected by this scam or if you have used a third party website to secure a Centuria investment, you should cease contact and correspondence immediately and contact us at compliance@centuria.com.au or phone +61 2 8923 8923.
