Why We Created GeekSafe\u2122<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the last 18 years of helping Kiwis with their tech issues, one challenge has become clear: scams are getting smarter and harder to detect. Many people believe they can recognise a scam. But, the reality is that scammers are using more sophisticated methods, including AI, to create convincing emails and messages.

In fact, 62% of Kiwis encounter scams monthly, with over $200 million lost to scams in 2023 alone. GeekSafe\u2122 was developed to give everyday internet users the tools they need to recognise and avoid modern scams. Think you’re skilled at spotting scams? Put your skills to the test and try out our scam-spotting quiz!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
