❗ALERT: FRAUDULENT PHONE CALLS❗
We’re aware of fraudulent phone calls being made around New Zealand, from one or multiple people pretending to be SPCA staff and/or veterinarians.
The caller appears to be targeting pet owners who have lost their animals, stating that the animals are being held by them, and that payment in the hundreds of dollars (to be paid over the phone) is required to retrieve them.
These callers are not affiliated with SPCA. If your animal is found by SPCA, we will never request payment in this way.
If you receive a call like this, we urge you not to provide any payment over the phone and report the call to Netsafe.
You can find information about how to do so here.
Please be sure to share this message with your friends and whānau that have pets.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
