Poll: Are you planning to deck your home with Christmas lights this year?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Auckland’s iconic Franklin Rd Christmas lights will not go ahead in 2020 with organisers deciding to pull the plug due to Covid-19.

Christmas revellers have marvelled at the extensively decked-out houses on the Freemans Bay street for the past 27 years, with recent years’ festivities attracting around 150,000 visitors in the lead up to Christmas Day.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
