SCAM ALERT - targeting the health and well being of the elderly
I was recently contacted by a man (with a slight Indian accent) saying he was part of a new Health NZ program run by the Government to improve the health of the elderly. He had information about me and spoke like a health professional. He provided his name and phone number and was very convincing with his smooth talk and knowledge. I was cautious but it was later when I was coerced to order vitamin supplements to improve my metabolism and Paypal was mentioned, the red flags appeared. When I resisted giving any details and not wanting to buy anything he turned narsacystic and said I must be insane to think that he was a scammer with all the knowledge that he had shared with me. He said the time he spent with me had cost him money etc.
I contacted the police who were very supportive and said to contact Cert NZ who said it was a definitely scam that had appeared recently.
