Online Shopping warning

The Team from New Zealand Police

As we come up to the festive season, a lot of us want to shop online and look for good bargains šŸ›ļøšŸ›’

Hereā€™s a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
šŸ’øIf it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
šŸ’øIf itā€™s being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they canā€™t provide it, thatā€™s a red flag.
šŸ’øCheck the sellerā€™s profile, is it new or relatively blank?
šŸ’øIf you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebodyā€™s home, take someone with you and let someone else know where youā€™re going and when.
šŸ’øBe especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.

Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, youā€™re aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz
