BEWARE: Scammers impersonating Police taking advantage of vulnerable, older people

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are aware of reports emerging overnight where people have received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Police officer.

The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you.

People have been directed to go to the bank and withdraw money for evidence of the scam.
This is a scam – no legitimate Police officer will ever ask you to hand over money for any reason.

Overnight we have had five instances of this being reported, people need to be vigilant.
Enquiries into reports of scams of a similar nature received last week remain ongoing.

We appreciate these scammers are convincing, but New Zealand Police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw money. New Zealand Police will also never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, PIN or passwords.

Older members of our community are being targeted and Police urge anyone with elderly or vulnerable relatives to make them aware this activity is a scam.

There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties.

Remember:
• Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, PIN or passwords over the phone.
• Trust your instincts.
• If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details.
• Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
• Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.

If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.

Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the Netsafe website: netsafe.org.nz...

Retirement in New Zealand is evolving as people live longer, healthier lives, and the number of Kiwis who choose to continue working later in life is rising.

Retirement is your time to do what you love. Maybe for you this doesn't mean stopping work altogether; instead, it can mean shifting gears to something more fulfilling or pursuing passions that you now have time for. This might mean volunteering, part-time work, or even starting your own business.

Here’s some helpful advice from Ryman residents in the workforce.

Posting for a change to win $300 prezzie card

Scott from Stanmore Bay

Hi everyone, I'm Scott.

I recently received an email about a chance to win a $300 gift card, and I thought I'd give it a try.

Hi everyone, I'm Scott.

I recently received an email about a chance to win a $300 gift card, and I thought I'd give it a try.

This opportunity would mean a lot to me. Living on disability support barely covers my rent, and I’m left with just $80 each week for bills and food. Due to my disability, I’ve been mostly confined to my home for the past 5 years, except for going to doctors appointments and district nurses appointment and the grand ole highlight of my week by going grocery shopping.

I suffer from a chronic condition that causes constant blood and pus leakage. This not only affects my health but also ruins my clothes and bedding regularly. Winning this gift card would allow me to buy new clothes, especially underwear and socks to replace the ones full of holes, and perhaps some new bedding to improve my quality of life.

You can read more about my condition on my Give-a-little page.
( givealittle.co.nz... )

Having these essentials would make a significant difference, helping me feel more comfortable and less stressed about my basic needs.

Thank you for considering my entry.
