Consumer Fraud Warning

Do not send money:

• to strangers — only send money to people you personally know!

• to pay for online purchases

• to someone claiming to be a relative in crisis or an emergency situation that you have not verified

• for rental property deposits or payments

• for antivirus protection

• for mystery shopping assignments

• to pay rent

• to pay credit card loan fees

• to claim lottery winnings

• to resolve immigration issues

✓ Never share the transaction reference number or recipient details with anyone other than the intended recipient!

✓ If you have reason to believe you are the victim of a scam, DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE TRANSFER, and contact Ria’s fraud department immediately. Call 0800450403 or email compliance-nz@riafinancial.com.

✓ Please remember that when you send money, the beneficiary usually receives it quickly. Once the funds have been paid out, Ria may not be able to refund your money, even if you were the victim of fraud.
