Concern over the latest data on online dating and romance scams.
The Norton Cyber Safety Insights Report surveyed just over 1,000 New Zealand adults, and found a quarter have fallen victim.
More than half have suffered financial losses, on average $264.
Systems Engineer Dean Williams told Kate Hawkesby we're not alone, with other countries showing similar rates.
He says overall it's quite alarming, and shows this is another cyber issue we need to be conscious of.
