In this case scammers use WhatsApp to impersonate family members or friends in saying they need help and in particular need money.
Victims of this scam have received a message from an unknown number, claiming to be a loved one who has just lost their phone and got a replacement.
The scammer then attempts to obtain the victim’s credit card information.
These kinds of scams run constantly and while most people will not respond or buy into them, some people are more vulnerable.
We urge people to have conversations with vulnerable or elderly family members, to help ensure they are aware of the tactics often used by scammers and don't become victims.
If you are in doubt because a person is claiming to be a family member or friend, ask them a personal question – for example their date of birth, maiden name, pet name or name of a sibling.
Do not provide a password, credit card or bank details without making absolute sure, it is someone you know.
No legitimate agency will contact you and ask for your bank details or credit card out of the blue.
Police’s message on scams like this is simple – do not engage with anyone on the phone, and if you think you are being scammed report the incident immediately.
Anyone who believes they are a victim of a scam, in person, over the phone or online, should immediately report it to their bank, and then to their local Police.

Messages written on paper buddies should be:
1. "I Can Do Internet Banking But Doctors Say Having Children Are Unrealistic For Me"
2. "Why Am I Not Allowed To Have Children Even Though I Can Do Internet Banking?"
3. "I Can Do My Business On TradeMe But Doctors Are Trying To Stop Me From Having Children"
4. "TradeMe Always Helps Me Succeed So Why Can't Doctors See That?"
5. "Other Women Are Allowed To Have Children & Do Their Business On TradeMe So Why Not Me?"
6. "How Do I Show Doctors That I Can Use Internet Banking To Have Children?"
7. "Internet Banking Is Awesome Tool In Helping You Have Children"

More people making paper buddies to go on display in windows everywhere to speak up for women facing discrimination just because they are using Internet banking, more likely we are to end discrimination against women who use Internet banking!
Then doctors will stop discriminating against women who use Internet banking when they see paper buddies on display in windows everywhere!
Show everyone that women deserves to become mums with help from Internet banking!
Remember that "nothing is impossible when you have access to Internet banking!"
Remember that "nothing is unrealistic when you have access to Internet banking!"
Let's work together to END discrimination against women who use Internet banking!
