Scam awareness

At Coast, we want to protect your personal and financial information from being stolen.

Sophisticated scammers continue to produce fraudulent social advertising using Coast imagery and pretending to be sent sent to you from one of Coast’s hosts.

To keep you safe, a key red flag to look out for is a request by scammers to provide your card details. We will never ask for your card details.

We also do not randomly award unsolicited prizes. To win a prize from Coast you must have always entered through an official Coast channel, either by calling live on air, via text or through online/social media entry.

Our announcers will never award prizes on social. Prizes will always be drawn by our official accounts, @CoastRadioNZ and @CoastBreakfast on Facebook and @coastradionz, @coastbreakfast & @weneedtotalkwithtonistreet on Instagram.

Please carefully check unsolicited messages and if you’re unsure about the authenticity of a message, contact us anytime by email at: coast@nzme.co.nz.
