There seems to be a scam for every demographic - people with money to invest, shopaholics buying online, online banking customers and new migrants from countries where corruption is rife.
The people who operate scams use increasingly sophisticated ways to defraud you from your money, and are getting better at posing as legitimate organisations when they contact you. This includes developing fake websites and organisation letterheads that look like the real thing.
They rely on common human vulnerabilities, such as:
a belief in the legitimacy of companies and websites
a willingness to trust others
a wish for greater wealth
feeling obliged to follow through with something that was agreed to
not wanting to miss out on products or services that might only be available for a short time.
Your best defence is to educate yourself in the way that fraudsters work. You can find out about the wide range of scams on Consumer Protection’s ScamWatch website.
Some recent scams to be aware of include:
calls targeting migrant communities, claiming to be from Immigration New Zealand. They demand payment (sometimes in the form of iTunes vouchers) on threat of deportation or arrest;
emails claiming to be from a courier company, telling you that you missed a delivery and asking you to provide personal information so that you can retrieve the item.
There's a lot you can do to protect yourself. Below are a few tips:
Government agencies will never call, email or text demanding payment or threatening deportation. Banks will never call or email you to ask for your PIN or Internet banking password.
Salespeople and charity donations collectors will always wear clothing or accessories that identify them as such.
Microsoft is unlikely to call you to offer IT support services over the phone. Your internet provider is not likely to try to fix your internet problem by remotely controlling your computer. If you get an unexpected call with an offer to fix “problems” with your computer over the phone, just hang up.
If a bargain sounds too good to believe, it may be a stolen item – it may not even exist.
Before doing business with an unfamiliar company, do some research on them so you can be sure they are reputable.
Be careful about who you give your personal details to, as someone could use this information to steal your identity.
Check your banking and credit card statements regularly and look out for unexpected or unusual account transactions.
Be suspicious if the person you met online starts talking about their problems and suggesting that only you can help them.
If you didn’t buy a lottery ticket then it’s not possible for you to have won the lottery.
Don’t let anyone pressure you into making a decision quickly, whether it’s about investing, purchasing or donating.
If you receive a suspicious email, letter, fax or phone call, you can check whether it is a known scam. Reported scams are recorded on a number of websites:
The Department of Internal Affairs’ list of reported scams;
On the website of the business or organisation which the scammer wants you to believe they are representing (e.g. Inland Revenue, Immigration New Zealand);
You can also try doing an Internet search on the name of the organisation supposedly contacting you, followed by the word “scam”.
If you suspect it’s a scam but it isn’t listed as a reported scam, you can easily report it (on NetSafe's website, The Orb) so that others don't fall victim to it.
If you believe you have become a victim of a scam, report it to the Police. If you gave out your personal banking details you’ll also need to tell your bank.

With shorted days requiring lights on earlier and colder night enticing us to switch on heaters and electric blanks, how can you keep your power usage down? Here are five smart tips for reducing your usage this winter.
1) Change to LED lights
LED lighting is the greener option and are also more energy efficient, using up to 80% less energy and lasting 25 times longer than incandescent lighting. These are available in a range of shapes and sizes from down lights to flood lights. Switching to energy-efficient lighting could halve your household lighting costs.
2) Switch off at the wall
It’s easy to do, but we often forget to turn off our light switches and appliances at the wall when we’re not using them. Many appliances still chew up energy even when they’re on standby mode. According to Energy Wise, appliances left on standby can cost you more than $100 a year on your power bills.
3) Get your timing right
Homes waste a lot of power through unnecessary heating. A programmable timer can help keep losses to a minimum by letting the temperature in your home stay at the right level suit you. You can use a timer to set the heating to ‘off’ during the day when the house is empty, and programme it to turn on shorty before your due home. Do this with your towel rail also for four hours a day rather than all the time and you could save up to $130 a year.
4) Maintain your appliances
With winter’s cold chill, it’s hard to resist the comfort of a natural gas heater or reverse cycle air-conditioner. However, the reality is there appliances can have a significant impact on your energy bill, especially when they’re not properly maintained. When filters have a built-up of dust, efficiency is impaired leading to higher costs. Ensure your household heating is always running at its optimum by cleaning the filter once a fortnight. Tip: Put a reminder on your phone so you don’t forget! A ten-minute job that saves you money is well worth it.
5) Take faster showers
I know how hard it is to resist a long hot shower when it’s frosty outside. However, research shows hot water accounts for 21% of all energy used in the home. Keeping shower lengths to a minimum is a quick and easy way to downsize your bill.
