A grim figure for New Zealand, with one in 10 Kiwis getting scammed in the last year.

Data shows one in three people were victims of any crime in the year to last October, on par with 2022 figures.

Just over 15 percent felt unsafe last year, a jump from 9.3 percent in 2018.

Netsafe Chief Executive Brent Carey says scam reports have risen 20 percent, and action is needed.

"And we're calling on the Government to create an anti-scam centre so that we can all get a handle on this growing international crime as well."
