Fraudulent website

We have become aware of a new fraudulent website, representing the “Royal Academy of Sciences New Zealand” and using the acronym RASNZ. The fake site is quite sophisticated, with genuine content alongside fake content.

We are reporting this phishing site to all the relevant authorities, and will attempt to have it taken down as soon as possible. 

In the meantime, please do not search for the fake site, or click on any links there; especially, do not enter any information into the site, or follow its instructions to log in, register, or donate. 

Our official website remains at www.royalsociety.org.nz.

 

Our social media accounts are: 

·        Facebook: Royal Society Te Apārangi

·        X: @royalsocietynz

·        BlueSky: @royalsocietynz

·        LinkedIn: Royal Society Te Apārangi

·        Instagram: @royalsocietynz

·        YouTube: RoyalSocietyNZ

 

Do not respond to any emails purporting to be from the Society unless they come from an address ending in @royalsociety.org.nz.

If you have already been affected by this scam, please report immediately to CERT NZ at www.cert.govt.nz/individuals/report-an-issue/.

Please email enquiries@royalsociety.org.nz if you have any other questions or concerns.
