Dunedinβs 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.
π βA good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the sellerβs Facebook profile was created. If itβs very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.β
π Another important step is to make sure the sellerβs profile name and bank account name match up. βWeβre seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - thatβs a huge red flag."
π βWhen youβre 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."
π βQuite frankly, itβs 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."
π "If youβre buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if itβs stolen or if thereβs money owed on it.β
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105

But under that neat garden and solid paths, our camera told a different storyβ¦
We found several cracks and offsets in the old ceramic drain lines, likely hidden damage from the 2010β2011 quakes. Nothing too dramatic yet, but it was only a matter of time before things got messy.
Luckily, the property still had an EQC (now Natural Hazards Commission) claim on record. Our team stepped in to help the owner with the process, and before long, the repairs were fully approved and sorted at no extra cost to them.
We replaced the damaged sections, tidied everything up, and left both the tenant and landlord relieved theyβd caught the problem early.
Moral of the story: sometimes a βroutine checkβ can save you a lot of stress (and cash) down the line!
