Public warned after suspicious man at Mauao
There were reports of a man suspiciously on the summit of Mauao at Mt Maunganui this week.
Two women were at the summit on Wednesday between 7.30 and 8pm when a man began taking pictures of them on his cellphone, then followed them down the track.
Police received a report on the incident on Thursday morning and were making inquiries.
Senior Sergeant Mike Membery encouraged anyone who has experienced something similar on the mountain on Wednesday night to contact police.
"Police encourage anyone who is ever concerned for their own, or others, safety to contact us immediately," he said in a statement.
"Even if the thing you witnessed is no longer happening, please still call your local station and pass on your information, it could be useful to police in the future."
Contact police on 07 577 4300 or provide information anonymously through Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
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.
