American coffee chain Starbucks closes in Nelson
There will be no more Frappucinos in the top of the south as Starbucks closes its doors after 15 years on Trafalgar Street. Landlord Gaire Thompson said he gave Starbucks a 100% rent reduction in April, but turned down their request to pay half the rent for up to a year. Will you miss Starbucks or are you glad it's gone?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
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.
