11Mar20 0708 #5 Corona virus: septic tanks update
Update and last post on this septic subject since my #4 post two days ago. This morning I talked again to Auckland Council's help phone-line 09 301-0101. They hadn't done much thinking since my first call 9Mar20. So septic tank owners .. we are pretty much on our own for now. But the phone line team leader did say that any household in isolation should call their septic tank contractors, notify them about the isolation so they can take appropriate precautions, and ask the contractors to clean-out the tanks.
As I look out down the valley here along Redoubt Road and watch the rain settle in I can't help but remember Auckland University Associate Professor Wiles' recommendation: form a support group with your neighbours so you can help each other. Here's the link: bit.ly...
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.
