Daylight saving to end THIS weekend, clocks to go BACK one hour
Daylight saving is set to end this weekend and while an extra hour of sleep is usually something worth celebrating, in these unprecedented times it might not seem like much. But Kiwis are being urged by the Department of Internal Affairs to still take the time to check household emergency plans, survival items, and smoke alarms.
"A house fire can kill in five minutes - go over an escape plan with everyone in your household," Fire and Emergency New Zealand chief executive Rhys Jones said. "Make sure you have working smoke alarms in your home in this daylight saving." Clocks will officially go back to 2am at 3am on Sunday. Earlier this week, there were suggestions daylight saving should be extended until the end of New Zealand's COVID-19 lockdown. However, a poll by The AM Show found 51 percent were not in favour of an extension. Daylight saving will return on September 27.

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.
