The holiday season can already be a stressful time, and the last thing you want is to lose large sums of money to a scam.
A phishing scam is an online scam, where the offender pretends to be a trustworthy person or organisation to try and get a victim’s personal information.
Police has received a number of phishing scam reports with offenders targeting people who are selling items or services online like Trade Me and Facebook Marketplace.
The offenders pretend to be an interested buyer, and urgently request to buy your product and arrange a courier pickup.
The victim receives a fake courier website link to complete a verification process asking for personal details, like bank account numbers, passwords, and phone numbers.
Once provided these details, the offender uses these to access a victim’s bank account, tricking the victim into proving any multifactor authentication code sent from the victim’s bank.
The money in the victim’s bank account is then taken by the offender once access is gained.
Police are urging members of the public to be cautious, especially when someone in person or online is asking you to give them money or your personal details like bank accounts and passwords.
Never comply with a request asking you to provide or ‘verify’ your online banking details.
Legitimate organisations will never ask you to do this.
If you are unsure if it is real, please contact your bank by the phone number on their official website or go to your nearest branch.
If you receive a courier website link from a potential buyer, this is likely a scam.
Please do not fill out the verification process.
Use the social media/trading platform’s reporting tools to report the scam and the user involved.
You can also make a report to Netsafe at report.netsafe.org.nz.
If you have handed over your online banking details, contact your bank immediately and suspend your account.
If you think you have been scammed (provided your banking details and/or suffered a loss), please gather as much information you can and make a report to Police online through 105.police.govt.nz or call 105.

I'm looking for a good used smart TV 32-42 inch as a present. 2017 + preferably, up to $200.
As used for Sky signals, but we no longer subscribe to Sky. Was working well and comes with mounting brackets but no connector cables.
Old 4 burner model. Has a virtually new connector, but no bottle. Also has a good condition cover. Still in working order, but a bit of rust on the handle for the cover. There is also a spare steel plate (300mm x 450mm) that was not part of the original BBQ but I used it over the open flames to … View moreOld 4 burner model. Has a virtually new connector, but no bottle. Also has a good condition cover. Still in working order, but a bit of rust on the handle for the cover. There is also a spare steel plate (300mm x 450mm) that was not part of the original BBQ but I used it over the open flames to give a full plate cooking space.
For pictures of cover, extra plate and connector see separate listings. I would prefer to sell all as one item, but the photos are too big!.
Manually operated push mower. Good quality Flymo brand. Was working well when I last used it a couple of years ago, but probably needs a sharpen and tune now. I have gone electric!
Old four stroke mower. I have replaced with an electric mower, but this one did still work (sometimes) up to about a year ago when I stopped trying.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
