A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

Police have issued a warning about a new text scam campaign circulating that references NZ Police.

A police spokesman said the TXT will try to get the person receiving it to click on a link that looks similar to the official NZ Police site but is not real.

“This is a scam and anyone who receives it should not respond under any circumstances.

“Please remember police will never contact you out of the blue by TXT for any enforcement reason with an embedded link.”

Anyone who receives a similar TXT is asked to report it to Department of Internal Affairs TXT scams.
