Calls for a more co-coordinated and unified approach to dealing with scams

The Banking Ombudsman's annual report shows scam-related complaints were up 43 percent from last year.
The average loss is 57 thousand dollars.
Banking Ombudsman Nicola Sladden, says the level of sophistication is highly concerning.
She says banks and organisations need to work together with a more unified approach and the golden rule is for New Zealanders to be careful with banking information.
