- Our Manager, Meg Martin wrote "I would like to truly thank our member organisations, our incredible staff and volunteers, as well as our funders and stakeholders for being so engaged in the development of our volunteer programmes and volunteerism. I would also like to thank our past, current, and incoming Board members who sit around the table and give their time, expertise and insights to Volunteer Marlborough. We are very fortunate to have such a diverse and passionate group of people who believe in the important work that we do."
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.
