Following the success of the 2012 campaign aimed at small businesses, Consumer Affairs Victoria has been working with Melbourne marketing agency The Taboo Group to combat the problems everyday consumers encounter online.

 

The six new animated lessons focus on problems that arise from internet selling, dating, renting, lotteries, investments and rebates; providing viewers with valuable tips to protect themselves from avoidable scams.

 

Says Andrew MacKinnon, managing director of The Taboo Group: “It’s a sign of a successful campaign that Consumer Affairs Victoria briefed us to bring Stevie back and continue his great work from last year.”
