It’s been revealed that Kiwis lost a record $3 billion to scams this year.  

That’s a 30% increase from $2.3 billion last year.

So, how should we protect ourselves and who should be held accountable? 

Today on The Front Page, Netsafe’s Sean Lyons is with us to break down the latest figures, and discuss how New Zealand can better prepare itself for the evolving world of scams.
