Yet another NASTY scam going around😡😡

Fiona from Henderson

And so it begins (or continues)!
Just to let you know these phone calls are currently going round.

"Good morning, according to our system, you are likely to have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means that you now need to self-isolate for 7 days and take a COVID-19 test."

"OK. Can you tell me who that person was?"

"I'm not able to tell you that. That is confidential information."

"Right. Um... so ...."

"But you do need to be tested within the next 72 hours. So can I just get the best mailing address so that we can send a kit to you?"

"Ok (gives address)"

"Thank you - and I just need to take a payment card so that we can finalize this and send the kit to you."

"Sorry - a payment card? I thought this was all free?"

"No - I'm afraid not. There is a one-off fee of $50 for the kit and test results. Could you read off the long card number for me, please, when you're ready."

"No - that's not right."

"I'm afraid it is. Can you give me the card number please - this is very important, and there are penalties for not complying."

Puts the phone down.

This is how scammers work and vulnerable people will fall for it.
PLEASE BE AWARE AND WARN OTHERS - LET'S STOP THESE VILE PEOPLE FROM DOING THIS!!!!

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
