Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Childcare
Hi!
I recently moved to the Hillsborough area and would like to offer two different services:
1. Childcare: teaching background, experience with all ages. Currently quite a bit of availability.
I love children, doing fun things together. Happy to help with homework.
Negotiable on hourly rate.
2. Coaching/mentoring: I'm just starting out and am offering free half-hour phone calls or face-to-face if you prefer. I specialise in listening and client-centred practice.
Look forward to hearing from you!
