Poll: Can you spot a scam?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We used to just be wary of clicking links online, and then came the deceptive phone calls, followed by text messages that look to be from a known company.

The latest statistics from Cert NZ show cyber crime reports from January to March incurred financial losses up to $6 million - a 66% increase on the same time last year. So, it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid these scams - do you think you can spot a scam?

Vote in our poll, and type 'Not For Print' if you comment but want these excluded from the We Say You Say column of your local paper.

Light fingered Lenny

Alexander from Tamatea

Just a heads up to everyone that there are thieving little buggers and I don’t mean just kids prowling Tamatea at night and the early hours stealing blatantly from peoples properties , last night some loser pretended to be out walking his dog at 4 am this morning and stole a bike from our neighbours front yard , little does he know that he has been picked up on three lots of CCTV and unless he returns the bike to where he stole it in Glamorgan Avenue his mugshot will be posted all over social media, This is your only opportunity to return the bike to its rightful owner.
