If they have her name, phone and email already, how can they not know her licence number and address and the other information they are demanding.

Anyone aware of any scams like this going around?

Not wanting to call the police to confirm.

A quick google gives - Detective Matt Jones of the Queenstown Police (03) 441 1600

t'were me, I'd give him a call and ask him why he needed know and that I'd be happy to answer any questions with legal representation.

And if it is a scam then Mr Matt should know this is happening...
