Police are urging people to have a think about staying safe from scams.
A number of scams have been reported to Police recently, both online and over the phone.
Notably, a victim had $6,000 taken from them after malicious software was installed on their computer by a scammer pretending to be from Spark.
This is a variation on previous scams seen by Police, where the scammer claims to be from a widely recognised organisation in order to appear legitimate.
