A time to be vigilant

The team from Netsafe

It's tax return time. Scammers are impersonating Inland Revenue (IR) - and even the Police to steal personal information and money.

It's tax return time. Scammers are impersonating Inland Revenue (IR) - and even the Police to steal personal information and money.

They may contact you by email, text, or phone, claiming:
๐Ÿ”น You're owed a tax refund and must provide your bank details to receive it.
๐Ÿ”น You owe tax and need to pay immediately to avoid legal trouble.

How to stay safe:
โœ… Donโ€™t click on links in emails or texts - log in to your myIR account directly.
โœ… Check the sender - official IRD emails always end in @ird.govt.nz.
โœ… Be cautious with texts - IRD only sends messages from four-digit codes, not
regular phone numbers.
