I want to warn everyone about a scam involving a fake Facebook advertisement targeting people in the building and construction industry. The ad claims to offer Certificate III or IV qualifications without exams, which is already a red flag.

Once you respond, they contact you via a WhatsApp Business account using the number (02) 7908 0694. They appear professional at first and ask you to deposit 50% of the agreed amount into an Australian bank account. After receiving the initial payment, they demand the full amount without providing any legitimate documentation or certification.

⚠️ No certificate is ever delivered.
⚠️ They stop responding once they receive the full payment.

This is a fraudulent operation preying on people looking to upskill or meet licensing requirements. Please do not engage with this number or any similar ads. Always verify training providers through official government or industry channels.

📞 Scammer's Number: 02 7908 0694

If you've been targeted or scammed, report it to Scamwatch (https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/) and your local authorities.

RTO and RPL organisation into training. Offers to get you qualified without any exams. They will take your money and not deliver anything. Don’t fall into the trap.
