SCAM: email says to renew REGO

Jean from Tahunanui

An amazingly-realistic email asking you to click on link to renew your car's REGO... it's not from Ministry of Transport- it's a scam!! If you check the incoming email address, it says :inf@transport.govt.nz; and if you go to NZTA to check your rego, the 'reminder number' it gives you DOES NOT EXIST! NZTA also has a warning about this scam.

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.
