Scammers posing as Police officers

Be aware, pesky phone scammers’ latest move may be posing as Police officers seeking your financial details.

New Zealand Police are aware of reports emerging this month where Kiwis have been contacted on the phone by someone claiming to be an 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. This is a scam.

Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton, from Auckland City’s Financial Crime Unit, says there have been at least a dozen reports made to Police, and these scam calls are largely being made to landlines. “While Police do not have accurate numbers of how many of these scam calls have been received, it is important that the public are aware,” he says. “Police will make some enquiries into these calls, but our experience has shown that often phone-based scammers will be operating from overseas. “We appreciate the vigilance of those who have contact Police so far, as this will help us to make others in the community aware.”

Unfortunately, scams can take many different forms and target victims on different platforms, Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says. “Scammers are opportunistic and thrive off your trust and good-will. If you receive a call of this nature, do not hand over any personal details.”
New Zealand Police will never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, pin numbers or passwords. There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties. Police ask that the public remain vigilant.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿:
➡️Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, pin numbers 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.

𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺:
Police are also aware of an email scam that has re-emerged, that claims to be authorities from Police and other justice sector partners. This scam has been subject of previous advisories. We continue to advise people to be extremely cautious when receiving unsolicited emails. Do not reply an the email of this nature under any circumstances.

Kia ora,

Last week the Oke Charity built its 40th outdoor classroom (OC) here in Auckland and we're well on our way to reaching the epic milestone of fifty OC's by the end of 2024. In order to achieve this, we need your help.

Each month One New Zealand gives a share of $100,000 to 10 different charities. The portion of the $100,000 that Oke Charity will receive depends on how many tokens we are given by our amazing community.

It doesn't cost you anything to support this campaign, just a few minutes. Just head to the One Good Kiwi website (hit the Read More button) and scroll across to find our South Auckland Chief Go-Getter, Alisi, talking about Oke Charity and the work we do with schools.

Click on the green token below Alisi's image and you will see your tokens coming to us with each click :)

If you'd like to support us even more, then you can download the One Good Kiwi app and create an account and you will get 10 tokens to donate to Oke. Hitting the Refer a Friend icon in the app and sharing with friends and family, will earn you even more tokens!

Thank you so much for your support! It will allow us to create more outdoor classrooms like the many we've already built and help Oke to continue Growing Mighty Kids. www.oke.org.nz...
