Question: What methods do scammers use to contact you

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Current COVID-19 (coronavirus) scams
section_headers: How scammers contact you
section_content: During a crisis like COVID-19, you may be isolated and using online services
more than ever, so it is important to think about who might be really
contacting you. They may find you by:

calling you or coming to your door
contacting you via social media, email or text message
setting up websites that look real, and impersonating government, business or even your friends
collecting information about you so that when they make contact they are more convincing.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Lists many ways that scammers may reach out to victims.
This needs improvement. It introduces scammers without actually identifying them, just calling them "they" in the last sentence before the bullet points. You need to be clear in what you mean when discussing something like this.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Current COVID-19 (coronavirus) scams
section_headers: Phishing – Other impersonation scams
section_content: Scammers are pretending to be from real and well known businesses such as
banks, travel agents, insurance providers and telco companies, and using
various excuses around COVID-19 to:

ask for your personal and financial information
lure you into opening malicious links or attachments
gain remote access to your computer
seek payment for a fake service or something you did not purchase.

Tips to protect yourself from these types of scams:

Don’t click on hyperlinks in text/social media messages or emails, even if they appear to come from a trusted source.
Never respond to unsolicited messages and calls that ask for personal or financial details — just press delete or hang up.
Never provide a stranger remote access to your computer, even if they claim to be from a telco company such as Telstra or the NBN Co.
To verify the legitimacy of a contact, find them through an independent source such as a phone book, past bill or online search.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Describes several methods that scammers use to contact their victims.
The content of this answer is useful, but the arrangement could be better. The question asked about methods of contact, not methods of scamming. I think the answer needs to start with the information about hyperlinks, calls, etc. It is most relevant.

page_title: Current COVID-19 (coronavirus) scams
section_headers: About COVID-19 scams
section_content: Scamwatch has received over 2700 scam reports mentioning the coronavirus with
over $1 114 000 in reported losses since the outbreak of COVID-19
(coronavirus). Common scams include phishing for personal information, online
shopping, and superannuation scams.
If you have been scammed or have seen a scam, you can make a report on the Scamwatch website, and find more information about where to
get help.
Scamwatch urges everyone to be cautious and remain alert to coronavirus-
related scams. Scammers are hoping that you have let your guard down. Do not
provide your personal, banking or superannuation details to strangers who have
approached you.
Scammers may pretend to have a connection with you. So it’s important to stop
and check, even when you are approached by what you think is a trusted
organisation.
Visit the Scamwatch news webpage for general warnings and media
releases on COVID-19 scams.
Below are some examples of what to look out for.
These are a few examples, but there are many more. If your experience does not
match any of the examples provided, it could still be a scam. If you have any
doubts at all, don’t proceed.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Has general information about scams, but doesn't specifically mention how victims may be contacted.
This seems very general, and doesn't actually include a lot of information about how scammers could be trying to contact someone. It should be more specific and less about remaining cautious. There are lots of links to pages with more answers, but the answer itself should contain more facts relevant to the question.
