We will never ask for personal information or present opportunities for incentives or work to be completed outside the Field Agent mobile app. # **Our Tips For Identifying A Scam**   ### TIP #1: Never Give or Verify Personal Information Outside the Field Agent App Scammers will stop at nothing to get your personal information and rope you into giving them your money. They may even use recognisable, otherwise credible tools like Google Drive to disguise their scam.  For your security, all verification is now strictly within the Field Agent app. If extra details are needed, we'll guide you to verify safely via our in-app Contact page. Remember, we'll never ask for verification through external emails or methods.   ### TIP #2: Double Check the Email Address The very first thing you should do is check the "from" email address. If you see anything other than **@fieldagent.net.au**, you're not talking to the real Field Agent. **Check closely. **We've seen many spoof email addresses that look a lot like "Field Agent," yet they're missing an "i," or the lower-case "L" is actually a capital "I", or the domain is not FieldAgent.net.au   ## TIP #3: Be Cautious of Social Media Messages Offering Money The Field Agent mobile app is the only place to find paying work from Field Agent. We will never ask for personal information or present opportunities for incentives or work to be completed outside the Field Agent mobile app. On occasion, our Agent engagement team will reach out through social media to promote tasks available on the app, but we will only ever direct you to the Field Agent app to participate.    ## TIP #4: All Payments Are Handled Exclusively Through the Field Agent App ALL of the money you earn through Field Agent will accrue in your agent account, and we will only ever pay you through the Field Agent App to your linked PayPal account. We will ***never*** email you for your bank details or offer payments in the form of gift cards.   ## TIP #5: If you're ever unsure, check with us Email us at [agent@fieldagent.net.au](mailto:Agent@FieldAgent.net.au) ## The Latest and Greatest From Our Blog ### [ Private Label is Winning at the Shelf - and Your Execution is Helping It ](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/blog/private-label-is-winning-at-the-shelf-and-your-execution-is-helping-it?hsLang=en-au) [Read More >](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/blog/private-label-is-winning-at-the-shelf-and-your-execution-is-helping-it?hsLang=en-au) ### [ The ROI of Retail Audits: The Value of Retail Intelligence for Australian FMCG Brands ](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/blog/the-roi-of-retail-audits-australia-fmcg-brands-retail-intelligence-winning-at-the-shelf?hsLang=en-au) [Read More >](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/blog/the-roi-of-retail-audits-australia-fmcg-brands-retail-intelligence-winning-at-the-shelf?hsLang=en-au) ### [ What “Great Customer Service” Means in 2026: Insights from Real Shoppers ](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/blog/what-great-customer-service-means-in-2026-insights-from-real-shoppers?hsLang=en-au) [Read More >](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/blog/what-great-customer-service-means-in-2026-insights-from-real-shoppers?hsLang=en-au) ## For App Users - [Agent Home](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/for-agents-australia) - [Agent FAQs](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/agent-faqs-australia) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/privacy-policy-australia) - [Participation Agreement](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/participation-agreement-australia) - [Scam Awareness](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/protect-yourself-from-scams-australia) ## OUR SOLUTIONS - [Insights](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/insights-australia) - [Audits](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/audits-australia) - [Trial](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/trial-australia) - [Our Blog](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/blog) - [Client FAQs](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/client-faqs-australia) - [About Us](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/about-us-australia) - [Contact Us](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/contact-us-australia) - [Chat with our AI Assistant](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/ask-us-anything) - [Press](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/press-australia) - [International](https://www.fieldagent.net.au/international-australia) ## Get in Touch Client Enquiries: [client@fieldagent.net.au](mailto:client@fieldagent.net.au) Agent Support: [agent@fieldagent.net.au](mailto:agent@fieldagent.net.au) © 2026 Field Agent Australia.
