Police warn of phone scam
Police are aware of a phone scam by cold callers who say they work for Spark NZ and request bank account details.
Recent phone calls have originated from Australia (0061) and the United Kingdom (0044).
Dunedin Senior Sergeant Graeme Evans says the Police’s message on scams is simple – do not engage with anyone on the phone and hang up immediately if you think you are being scammed.
Anyone who believes they are a victim of a scam should immediately report it to their bank, and then to their local Police.
