REPORTING A SCAM----Who to contact depends on what type of scam is involved. Whether you’ve been scammed or targeted by a fraudster, you should always report it.

Brian from Mount Roskill

New Zealand authorities may not always be able to take action against scams, but there are ways you can help. By reporting the scam, authorities may be able to warn other people and alert the media to minimise the chances of any scams you come across. Below is advice on where to report various types of scams:

Anyone who believes they are a victim of any crime, in person or online, should report the matter to their local Police.
