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.
