How We Got Here
Back in 2018, Canberra was experiencing a surge in financial scams targeting retirees. The methods were getting sophisticated—fake investment platforms, elaborate phishing schemes, and identity theft operations that looked completely legitimate.
What frustrated us most wasn't just the financial losses. It was how people felt afterward. Embarrassed. Ashamed. Reluctant to report what happened because they thought they should have known better.
Nobody should feel shame for being targeted by professionals who spend their entire day perfecting deception.
So we built zolentivaro to change that conversation. We work with financial institutions, community groups, and everyday Australians to create practical fraud prevention strategies that actually work in real situations.
Our approach isn't about fear. It's about knowledge. When you understand how scams operate, you're not paranoid—you're prepared. There's a difference.
