โ€˜Tis the season to not get scammed ...

As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.

Dunedinโ€™s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.

There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
๐Ÿ”’ โ€œA good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the sellerโ€™s Facebook profile was created. If itโ€™s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.โ€
๐Ÿ”’ Another important step is to make sure the sellerโ€™s profile name and bank account name match up. โ€œWeโ€™re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - thatโ€™s a huge red flag."
๐Ÿ”’ โ€œWhen youโ€™re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
๐Ÿ”’ โ€œQuite frankly, itโ€™s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
๐Ÿ”’ "If youโ€™re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if itโ€™s stolen or if thereโ€™s money owed on it.โ€

A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
