SCAM ALERTS
Lots of scams at the moment. Please be aware of these 3.
1) Received text message yesterday "You failed to pay the toll last month. To avoid more serious punishment .....
2) Husband received phone call yesterday, man with Indian accent, hard to understand some of what he said, lots of chatter in backround suggesting he was calling from a call centre. He said he was calling from "The Crime Investigation Centre". When asked for his service number and organisation he was with, he couldn't say. Husband hung up then reported to N.Z. Police who will investigate.
3) Received email supposedly from N.Z. Police WG: SUMMONS TO APPEAR warning and goes on about 'engaging in unethical online activities (of a sexual nature)/IT Investigations', there is a PDF attached and when opened this corresponded exactly with what I found when looking on the N.Z. Police site for reporting scams. Have attached the N.Z. Police site page showing this scam.
If you have received scam email 3) the real N.Z. Police ask that:-
'Anyone who received this email is asked to forward it directly to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz'
Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails. Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection NZ website: www.consumerprotection.govt.nz... is external)
Consumer Protection NZ, along with Netsafe, also provides helpful advice about keeping safe online. If in doubt about someone calling you hang up. If receiving something online do not email back.
