Aboriginal people entitled to WA's Stolen Wages settlement have been warned of a scammer attempting to take money in exchange for false claims they can assist in accessing the scheme.

Earlier this week, a concerned member of the public notified National Indigenous Times a scammer has targeted people through social media offering to facilitate quick payments from the settlement for a fee of $300.

The alleged perpetrator has contacted Indigenous people through Facebook messenger, and is also said to have given various bank accounts to those they targeted.

Last year, the Federal Court approved a $180 million settlement agreement reached by the Western Australian Government for the redress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who worked in the state for little or no wages between 1936 and 1972 under discriminatory policy.

Compensation granted totalled $16,500 per eligible claimant, or a share in $144,375,000 following legal costs awarded to parties who worked with claimants in the related class action.

The concerned member of the public claimed a scam had targeted Martu people in Jigalong, a remote Aboriginal community in the East Pilbara.

They said it was a "truly awful thing" vulnerable older people would be targeted.

Grant Thornton Australia, the firm appointed administrator of the WA Stolen Wages settlement, confirmed to National Indigenous Times they were aware of a potential scammer.

The firm updated the homepage at stolenwageswa.com.au earlier this week with a warning notice.

"It has been brought to our attention that at least one claimant has received unsolicited messages from an unknown party," the updated webpage reads.

"This party is offering their services to claimants, to assist them to gain access to the Stolen Wages scheme once a payment has been made to their account.

"Should you receive any similar messages, please ignore them as they are not legitimate.

"If you are concerned about the legitimacy of any emails / texts that you receive in relation to the Stolen Wages matter, please check the Stolen Wages Website and / or contact our call centre immediately."

Emails were also sent to all email addresses registered with Grant Thornton in relation to the redress scheme warning them of the potential scammer, and encouraging them to contact the firm directly with any concerns.

Last year also saw the landmark $202 million settlement of the Northern Territory Stolen Wages Class Action.

Shine Lawyers, who were involved in the class actions in both jurisdictions, told National Indigenous Times they were not aware of any scam attempts targeting Stolen WA and NT, though had notified ScamWatch and the administrator.

"We encourage all group members to make further enquiries with the administrator if they suspect they are being scammed," a Shine Lawyers spokesperson said.
