Police recently shared about the scam in which victims receive a call to their landline phone, by someone pretending to be a Police officer and providing a fake badge number.
In recent weeks, 18 Aucklanders have allegedly been duped out of more than a quarter of a million dollars.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton, from Auckland City’s Financial Crime Unit, says victims are told a story about needing their assistance with an investigation.
“The scam will always involve this so-called officer asking for financial information or asking you to withdraw cash to be collected as part of an investigation into banks,” he says.
On Monday, real Police officers caught up with the scammer following a foot chase through central Auckland.
Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says a 25-year-old UK national was taken into custody.
Today, he will face the Auckland District Court on 22 charges of obtains by deception, attempting to obtain by deception and escaping custody.
Police will be opposing his bail.
“We will allege in court that this man, who only arrived in New Zealand in early June, was on his way at the time to collect more cash from a previous victim,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says.
“Instead, real detectives turned up at the victim’s doorstep to advise him he was about to be scammed out of $20,000 in cash.
“Financial Crime investigators from all three policing districts' fraud teams in Tāmaki Makaurau have been working together to piece together this offending, and this is a great outcome.”
Aucklanders who fell victim of the scam were aged between 56 and 90, with the majority over 80.
“This man’s alleged actions betrayed the good-will of vulnerable and elderly members of our community,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says.
The offender has victims from right across Auckland, with a total of $297,700 in cash lost.
Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says enquiries are ongoing, and Police will work to recover as much of the cash as possible.
Please remember:
- Police will never call to ask you for bank details, pin numbers or passwords
- Police do not offer prize money
- Police will not ask you to go to a bank to withdraw money
- If you receive a call out of the blue of a similar nature: challenge the caller to identify themselves, ask for their details.
- Hang up, contact 105 to verify the ID and request the officer to contact you
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Evie is a 13 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.

Evie is a 13 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.
Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.
She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).
She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.
Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.
Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏

Vector need to replace a transformer located inside NSP (263 Parnell Rd), as it was installed many years ago. So between the 24th June 2024 and 13th July 2024 they will be replacing new high voltage network equipment at 263 Parnell Road.

During the work period, please expect to see:
• Excavation work on the footpath just outside 263 Parnell Road, which will create noise from time to time and will block a section of pedestrian access.
• A temporary transformer will be placed in the loading zone outside 269 Parnell Rd to facilitate ongoing power to affected properties.
• Parking restrictions and traffic flow - there will be limited parking directly around the worksite to allow their trucks and vehicles access to the worksite. During daytime hours, there will also be a loss of parking on the opposite side of the street in order to facilitate continued two way traffic up and down Parnell Rd. They do apologise that customers may need to be directed to parking further down the street or inside the parking at St John the Baptist.
• Work hours – most of the work will happen between 9am and 4pm, with some work taking place at night (9pm to 6am). The night works are not anticipated to create noise. There will also be two planned outages and affected properties have been notified.
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES THROUGH THIS DISRUPTION!
Non Solo Pizza have to unfortunately close over this period, and will probably remain closed until the end of July as they will use the closure to complete some internal renovations. But most other businesses are trading as usual. Gerome will be trading as normal, 7 days a week, Parnell Gallery will be closed the first week of July, but otherwise trading as normal, and look out for the new coffee kiosk opening at 269 Parnell Rd from 8th July.
