I want to make people aware of what is happening to our neighbours in the Greenpark huts as the mostly elderly and those with small incomes are being evicted from their homes and community with no place to go. Some have even put their life savings into their humble homes which they now have to not only leave but pay to have them removed as well. Shameful.

Make your family aware: Scam posing as officers returns

A phone scam is re-emerging with cold calling swindlers claiming to be Police officers.

New Zealand Police are advising the public to be vigilant, after a handful of reports have been made in recent days. Unfortunately, at least two elderly Aucklanders have been conned out of tens of thousands of dollars.

Waitematā CIB’s Detective Senior Sergeant Ryan Bunting says scammers are cold calling, mainly on landlines, and claim to be a Police officer.“They will also provide a fake ID or badge number to make their call seem legitimate,” he says.“This person will carry on and provide a reason for their call: either they are investigating fake bank notes, or that your credit card has been cloned.

“As part of this scam, they will ask you to withdraw money from a nearby bank to be collected or ask you to provide further financial or banking information to aid their investigation.”

Be aware: this is a scam call.

Police are investigating two reports this week, in south Auckland and the North Shore, where two people have fallen victim to the scam. “Both victims withdrew cash from a bank and handed this over to someone who arrived at their door to collect it under the fake cover story,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says.“These victims have had their good-will and trust trodden on by these scammers.”

Investigation staff have ensured there is support available for the victims. Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says: “Scammers have no ethics whatsoever and will take any opportunity to try and con you.“These scams take many forms, and the offenders trick people under a variety of guises or storylines.”

There are occasions where legitimate Police officers will contact people as part of their duties, he says.

Police are asking the community to be aware and take the opportunity to spread the word amongst friends and family members. “We are particularly keen to ensure elder family members are aware of what is happening,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says. “If anyone receives a call of this nature, hang up.

“If you have had the unfortunate position of being a victim to this scam and have not reported this, we encourage you to report this to Police.”

Please remember:
- Police will never call to ask you for bank details, pin numbers or passwords
- Police do not offer prize money
- Police will not ask you to go to a bank to withdraw money
- If you receive a call out of the blue of a similar nature: challenge the caller to identify themselves, ask for their details.
- Hang up, contact 105 to verify the ID and request the officer to contact you
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The team at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens have shared a message for Christchurch residents and visitors to the Gardens to be aware of.

What you need to know:
- Wolf decoys are being used within the Gardens to deter Canada geese. They said 'Geese have become widespread in the Gardens recently and are wreaking havoc on our waterways, paths and lawns with the sheer amount of poop they produce.'
So far the wolves, a natural predator of geese, are working well. The rangers often move them around so the geese don't get used to their presence.
- There's also been some incidents of the 'wolves' being stolen and injured, so please let the Christchurch Botanic Gardens team know if you see any suspicious behaviour.
- Most importantly, Christchurch Botanic Gardens are asking visitors to please refrain from feeding the geese - it's bad for the environment, spreads disease, and creates stress and competition among the birds.

More info about visiting the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and how to get in touch with their team is here.
