    Scammers are draining billions of dollars from Kiwis' back pockets

    Scammers are draining billions of dollars from Kiwis' back pockets


    New Zealand's latest State of Scams report shows more than 2.3 billion dollars was lost this year, up from 2.1 billion last year.

    Andrew Bayly has been appointed anti-scams minister.

    Netsafe CEO Brent Carey warns the most scams are popping up in online shopping.

    He says people need to be on the look out for any deals that are too good to be true and check whether they're credible traders.
