Types of scams

Impersonating Milford on different platforms

Emails

Emails from Milford will always come from domain @milfordasset.com.au or subdomains for example: @notify.milfordasset.com.au. If the domain name looks dodgy – it probably is. Never click on a link within an email unless you are certain of the sender.

Phone Calls

From time-to-time we contact our clients by phone during business hours, Monday through Friday 8am – 5pm. Milford staff will always clearly identify themselves. We do ask security questions to identify you correctly, but do not request secure information like passwords from you. If you doubt a call is legitimate, hang up and call us on 1800 161 310.

Text messages

Be aware of phishing scams. If we text you, it will be to notify you of something – not to request information. Never click a link if the text is asking you to verify your identity or action something on your account. Delete the message immediately. We’ll never send you a text out of the blue and ask you to click a link.

Website

Our official domain is www.milfordasset.com.au We also use various sub division domains created as a part of our primary domain for different services. For example: portal.milfordasset.com.au (portal login). Make sure you check the URL before signing in to your account.

Social Media

We love connecting with our clients through our social media channels. Watch out that people set up fake accounts with names that are very similar. If an offer or giveaway sounds too good to be true – it probably is.
