Online Shopping warning
As we come up to the festive season, a lot of us want to shop online and look for good bargains šļøš
Hereās a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
šøIf it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
šøIf itās being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they canāt provide it, thatās a red flag.
šøCheck the sellerās profile, is it new or relatively blank?
šøIf you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebodyās home, take someone with you and let someone else know where youāre going and when.
šøBe especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.
Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, youāre aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz
