Scams cost New Zealand real money
Knowing a business is real and registered is a simple, powerful check before you get in touch or pay.
- New Zealanders lost an estimated NZ$2.3 billion to scams in the year to mid-2024, up from NZ$2.1 billion in 2023 (Netsafe and the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, State of Scams in New Zealand 2024), with online shopping scams the most prevalent type.
- Phishing is the most-reported incident to the National Cyber Security Centre, which routinely takes down scam sites impersonating businesses. Postage and financial services are among the most copied.

Verified businesses display a numbered Hereabouts HQ window sticker. Anyone can check one, no account needed.

Verification confirms a business is real and registered against the New Zealand Business Number register, nothing more. It does not mean a business is endorsed or risk-free.
Businesses on paid plans receive clearly labelled priority placement in search results. Built and run by an Australian cyber security firm, so trust, privacy and verification aren’t add-ons, they’re the foundation.
