Financial Services Complaints, a free financial service, says consumers need to be as vigilant as ever when it comes to fraud, following what it says has been a noticeable increase in complaints around financial scams over the past year.

Financial Services Complaints chief executive Susan Taylor spoke to Māni Dunlop.
