Poll: Are you doing anything for Halloween this year?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Has your community got anything planned for Halloween this year? We want to hear about anything scary, cool or quirky happening this All Hallows' Eve (Wednesday - October 31). (Please let us know if you don't want your comments published by writing NFP.)

The attached pics are from the Thrill the World event in Christchurch's Cathedral Square on Sunday, where 'zombies' gathered to dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller. The event was held in various cities around the world to celebrate how we are all one community, regardless of our political, economic and racial backgrounds.

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.
