Advice about internet scams and frauds

You can help to protect others from scams by reporting them through the orb. This information will be sent to Consumer Protection who may publish information about it on the Alerts section of their Scamwatch website.

If a scam originates in New Zealand you may be able to get help under New Zealand law. In this case you should make a report in person at your local police station as the scam may be illegal.

If the scam originated overseas, New Zealand law is unlikely to be able to help you. If you’ve sent money to an overseas destination, unfortunately there is very little chance of getting it back.
