Police have warned of a phone scam which has left victims hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket. The scam, carried out by fraudsters claiming to be Spark and/or police, convinces victims to withdraw thousands of dollars from their bank accounts and send it to domestic and international addresses.
Last month, officers intercepted two separate packages in Auckland containing a total of $25,000. The two victims, one of whom was an 84-year-old woman, had their money returned by police.
However, most who fall for the scam won't be so lucky.

We have a lovely four double bedroom house with a large fenced backyard for rent for the last week of July through to end of August. This would suit a family who may be renovating, or need a house for family or work. Please message me if interested. Cheers Deb Mead
