The latest Crime and Victims survey reveals New Zealand's most common offence is fraud.
The Ministry of Justice has surveyed more than seven-thousand people, and it shows 10% have experienced fraud in the year to October 2023.
66% have been scammed by unauthorised bank transactions, and 20% were scammed making online purchases.
Cyber-security company Aura’s Principal Advisory Consultant, Alistair Miller, told Tim Beveridge “Because it’s seen as quite shameful – we ignore the statistics, don’t talk about it with our friends and family and keep quiet about it.”
Miller said “It’s become an industrialised process – there's call centres with hundreds of people working to defraud people – and now there’s A.I to make it even more automated.”
