Police porno pretenders preying on porn public

FYI, this story is more than a year old

Porn site users, cue embarrassing red cheeks among the male Kiwi community, are at risk from scammers impersonating New Zealand Police.

The blue websites feature our boys in blue issuing fines for users using the x-rated sites, requiring them to enter bank details and pay an instant fine.

Excuse the lack of knowledge on this subject, but if something appears fishy, chances are it probably is.

Nonetheless, clearly users have been affected with the actual police force receiving a few calls about the scam from concerned users.

The police have distanced themselves from the websites and have suggested users avoid using any sites which contain the warning - you have been warned fellas.

Have you been affected? Yeah right, as if you're going to post it online!
