Police are aware of reports emerging in the Wellington police district where people have lost money though a “Task Scam”. A Task Scam is a form of online fraud where individuals are deceived into completing tasks under the belief they are in employment.
Sergeant Rowen Steenkamp, Wellington … View morePolice are aware of reports emerging in the Wellington police district where people have lost money though a “Task Scam”. A Task Scam is a form of online fraud where individuals are deceived into completing tasks under the belief they are in employment.
Sergeant Rowen Steenkamp, Wellington Police says “Most online scams request money or personal information, Task Scams are more deceptive, requiring you to complete activities that seem easy or attainable. These include such things as, writing a specified number of online reviews for consumables like luxury travel packages, household products and cosmetics.
Sergeant Steenkamp says at least eight cases have been reported to date in Wellington including some involving significant financial losses, which includes two cases where the victims have lost in excess of $100k (137,000 and 105,000).
“In the recent cost of living crisis, we’ve seen an increase in people having second jobs or side hustles. As a result, what is known as a Task Scam has emerged as a particularly deceptive threat.
“These scams imitate legitimate earning opportunities, with the ability to seemingly work around your lifestyle when and how you please.”
Wellington-based man *Peter is speaking out to help prevent others falling into the same trap. *Peter lost nearly $22,000 to a Task Scam last month. He was lured in by the chance of some easy money and regrets his decision.
*Peter says it’s the first time he’d ever been scammed and never expected he would fall for it.
“I have lost a significant amount of my life savings, I had to stop ‘working the task’ because I had no money left.
“But then my (fake) “supervisor” encouraged me to borrow money from a friend, or to apply for a loan from a bank, or online loan website.
“They build trust, they monitor your progress like any other good manager would. They offer advice, before requesting more and more financial investments to enable you to move through to reviewing higher value items, it’s very convincing.”
“I urge people to be very careful online and avoid any schemes which offer easy cash,” he says.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐦?
Scammers are using various online platforms, from reputable job websites to social media channels, to unsolicited approaches on chat platforms.
“The scam operates on the allure of easy money. These offers typically promise high returns for simple tasks, instantly sounding appealing. In recent cases we have seen people offered $200-500 for 30 online product reviews, with higher-end items such a cruises claiming to provide even higher rates of commission,” says Sergeant Steenkamp.
The victim is assigned a manager who contacts them via Whatsapp, Telegram or Messenger using spoofing websites.
Spoofing is where someone disguises an email address, phone number, or website URL to appear to be from a local, trusted source.
The most enticing piece of these scams is the lure of easy money. Victims are promised hefty commissions upon completion of tasks. However, in most cases, they pay large sums of money to completing ‘training’, or to enable them to progress to the next task.
These are more often paid into crypto wallets or offshore bank accounts and the money is never seen again,” says Sergeant Steenkamp.
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐬:
The consequence of falling for a task scam is often huge financial loss. Recently, we have seen losses ranging from $7000 - $120,000. Globally, victims are thought to have lost more than $185 million.
In addition, the emotional and psychological distress, the feelings of betrayal and deception can have a lasting effect.
Remember this advice to help keep yourself safe:
• Confirm job offers: Thoroughly research the company and confirm the job exists, especially if you are approached via social media or chat platforms.
• The saying rings true: If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Be cautious of earning high money for little effort.
• Ask other opinions: Ask your friends or whanau their thoughts on the job offers, a second set of eyes my see something you don’t.
If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.

Our crews have completed the repair, and full pressure will be gradually restored over the next few hours.
To make the area safe overnight, it will be backfilled and fenced off and traffic management will remain in place until morning - but we will work to keep any disruption to traffic to a minimum.
Crews will be back onsite tomorrow morning to complete final work and we expect the area to be clear by early afternoon tomorrow, with full reinstatement to follow in the near future.
If your water supply was affected by the repair, please run a cold tap for a few minutes to clear any air or cloudy water from your pipes before using dishwashers, washing machines or hot water.
Thanks again for your patience while our crews completed this complex repair.
--------------------------------------------
Update 5, 5pm 21/8
To limit the disruption to peak hour traffic, crews will continue the repair after 7pm tonight.
We're pleased to advise that the risk of the shutdown widening this evening has reduced, but still encourage residents to store water. If a wider shutdown occurs, water tankers will be deployed to affected areas.
Due to the repair's complexity, we anticipate work to continue until later this evening, and service to be restored around midnight.
The areas that may be affected by low or no service are:
- Courtenay Place from Cambridge Tce to Allen St
- Pirie St from Austin St to Kent Tce
- Brougham St from Pirie St to Armour Ave
- Parts of Hataitai and Roseneath
We’ll continue to provide updates on the repair on our social channels. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we work to complete the repair.
--------------------------------------------
Update 4, 3pm 21/8
Work on Kent Terrace is continuing, and a repair is underway.
There is some uncertainty in whether or not the repair will be successful, and if it is not, the shutdown and low pressure area may widen to include a larger portion of the eastern CBD and may extend overnight.
To err on the side of caution, we would like to encourage residents to store water now.
If a wider shutdown occurs, we'll continue to keep the public informed and water tankers will be deployed to affected areas.
--------------------------------------------
Update 3, 1pm 21/8
Progress is being made on Kent Terrace, with crews reducing flow enough to excavate around the burst.
The pipe is now exposed (see the photo attached) however the flow remains very high. We'll work to isolate the pipe completely so the repair can be completed safely.
Customers in the below areas may notice a loss of supply or low water pressure. If you do, please advise the Wellington City Council customer contact team: wellington.govt.nz....
- Kent Terrace
- Cambridge Terrace
- Courtney Place
- Pirie Street
Customers in Mt Victoria, Roseneath and Hataitai at higher elevations may notice low water pressure or loss of service.
Due to the complexity of the repair, we expect full service to be restored late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
Thanks for your patience as our crews work at pace to complete this repair.
--------------------------------------------
Update 2, 8:10am 21/8
Crews are investigating reports of no service or low water pressure in higher areas of Roseneath. This may also affect areas of Mt Victoria.
We’ll provide more information as the investigation continues.
--------------------------------------------
Update 1, 7:40am 21/8
In the interest of public safety, the inside lane of Kent Terrace has been closed. To minimise delays, please use the Oriental Bay route to Wellington Airport if required.
Crews are working at pace to isolate the area and complete the repair, and have turned the water off. No customers should be affected - if you are experiencing a loss of service, please let us know.
Please see the map below for the approximate area affected.
If you have experienced any property damage from the burst, it's best to contact your insurer in the first instance, then report this to the Wellington City Council customer contact team: wellington.govt.nz...
