'Disgusting act': how scammers are now preying on the vulnerable

Scammers are exploiting vulnerable families during funerals, according to Paul Brooks from Burke and Douglas Funerals, who calls it a "disgusting low act."
Brooks stated that his team encountered a scam poster that quickly changed to another funeral home when reported.
He emphasized that families should never be charged for live streaming a funeral service, describing these scams as very distressing during emotionally charged times for families.
Brooks expressed concern that scammers don't care about their actions, mentioning that the scammer may not even be in Australia.
