Are you tired of being ripped off by overseas companies pretending to be Kiwi-owned?
Unfortunately, many websites that use the .co.nz domain aren’t actually New Zealand-owned, misleading us and tricking many of us sending our hard-earned dollars overseas.
In fact, research from BNZ shows that 9 out of 10 Kiwis were targeted by scams in the last 12 months, and many of these scams come from websites ending in .co.nz trying to trick Kiwis into trusting them. With 20% of registrants for .co.nz domains based outside NZ, millions are being lost by hard-working Kiwis to these overseas scammers.
At Buy Kiwi, we’re proud to be a 100% Kiwi-owned marketplace where every product is supplied by local businesses. When you shop with us, you can trust that your money stays within New Zealand, supporting local entrepreneurs, creating jobs, and strengthening our communities.
We believe it’s time to take action to secure New Zealand’s strategic asset—the .co.nz domain—from misuse by overseas scammers. That’s why we’ve created a petition to outlaw overseas scammers from using .co.nz domains. This would help protect Kiwis from fraudulent businesses operating under the guise of being local.
We want to hear and be able to address your thoughts and concerns.
