The Government's appointed a scam-busting minister to coordinate combatting con-artists.
Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Andrew Bayly has been named as the minister in charge of coordinating anti-scam efforts.
New Zealand's latest State of Scams report shows more than $2.3 billion was lost this year, up from $2.1 billion last year.
He told Ryan Bridge that there’s six ministries that deal with scams, and a lot of good work is done both within the government and also within the industry, but it’s not coordinated as well as it could be.
