Poll: Are you a champion of Hamilton?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

OPINION: I’ve always sung Hamilton’s praises because A, it's my hometown and B, it’s in my professional interests to do so. However, my pitch has changed lately.

I confess, the narrative I defaulted to for decades was largely centred on Hamilton being close to other places. Now, I find myself leading with Hamilton being legitimately cool in and of itself, and 100% believing it.

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.
