A pension in Australia is 'exempt' income. Therefore under a dual tax agreement has been fully taxed in Australia. I am interested to hear any response on this and I am sure we are not yet completely informed.
This happened to me in Thailand. I was scammed for about aud7,000. I don't know who scammed but the card numbers were used by, an idiot, student to pay university fees. I hope he was nailed. The bank recompensed me to their credit.
