COMMENTARY: Domain.com.au Users Left Twisting In The Wind

As users of Australia's Domain.com.au real estate website are being fleeced for thousands of dollars in a Western Union money transfer scam, the company has circled the wagons and is refusing to make a spokesperson available for media interviews.

Fraudsters are placing fake rental property listings for affordable apartments on the Domain site. Upon contacting the purported landlord, would-be renters are instructed to transfer money offshore in exchange for apartment keys that will never arrive.
