MMS #13 | My loved one lost their life savings: How to avoid scams and spot the red flags
In our 13th and final episode of the year, Money Made Simple hosts Liv and Jennie chat about what has become a hugely problematic part of modern life: financial scams. Scams are becoming more and more prolific, as well as increasingly sophisticated - fooling even the most vigilant people. We provide guidance on how to avoid scams and scammers, the 'watch outs' and how to keep your online data secure. Liv also shares a personal story about someone in her life that has recently been the victim of a scam.
This week's episode covers:
- Up-to-date facts and figures on scams in NZ (scary spoiler alert: 9 out of 10 Kiwis have at least been targeted)
- Some of the most common scams in New Zealand... redirected parcel, anyone?!
- What to do if you find yourself being smished (we explain!) or phished
- How AI is driving more sophisicated scams and what to look out for
- Some simple and useful tips on how to keep your online data safe
Resources we mention in this episode:

FMA - Report a scam here
By the end of this (slightly heartbreaking) episode, you should hopefully have a good awareness of common scams in NZ and some key red flags to look out for. You will have a new mantra - Be suspicious, never share personal info with anyone you don't know and when in doubt DON'T CLICK THAT LINK! And, if you're unlucky enough to have been a victim, you'll know how to report a scam - because the more we can share, the better prepared we can be!
