Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.

University of Otago's Campus Watch staff reported the man to police, after he was seen trying to break into ten vehicles on Howe St on Thursday night.
Acting Inspector Craig Dinnissen said the 43-year-old, who was well-known to police, claimed he was looking for discarded cigarette butts.
Police were also investigating reports of man, aged about 40, acting suspiciously in the suburb of Kew.
The man said he was searching for a lost cat on the Skibo St property

Concerned members of the public contacted police after seeing a man being "bundled into a car", Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen said.
The incident unfolded in the Canongate area over the weekend, but officers could not get to the bottom of the 'strange activity'.
"No-one is talking to us."
While some said it wasn't as bad as it looked, they declined to comment on the nature of the incident, Dinnissen said.
It was possible the incident was a prank, he said.
Meanwhile a 15-year-old boy was locked up for three burglaries over the weekend.
The teen allegedly burgled a North Rd property, and was later spotted at an address on Gt King St before jumping over a fence.
A police dog located the youth, who "due to his aggressiveness received a dog-bite".
He received medical attention, and was taken into custody.
There have been a lot of discussions lately about whether Santa could be a woman. Even National Party Leader Simon Bridges joined the debate saying "just as Mary Poppins is a woman, Santa Claus is a man". What do you think? Can Santa be a woman? Read more here.

A DOC spokeswoman said a tramper found the whales on Saturday and notified DOC staff at 10.30pm the same night.
Half the whales were dead and the decision was made to euthanise the remainder of the whales.

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.
But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.
Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.
Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.
