Scam Alert- Christchurch terror attacks- Westpac email phishing
***This was posted on the Westpac NZ Facebook page***
SCAM ALERT: We’ve had several reports of people receiving emails with Westpac branding requesting donations for the victims of the Christchurch terror attacks.
These emails are NOT from Westpac and we advise anyone who receives one to forward it to phishing@westpac.co.nz
If you hover over the link you’ll see it goes to a scam site called mothersawakening. The account number they supply is NOT the correct account for donations.
The correct account number for donations to the Christchurch Foundation - Our City, Our People Fund is 15-3976-0091104-080.
If in doubt, please check with us or come into a branch and we can assist with donations.
****ends****
I repeat- "If in doubt, please check with us or come into a Westpac branch and we can assist with donations."
