New Zealand Police are advising the public to be vigilant, after a handful of reports have been made in recent days. Unfortunately, at least two elderly Aucklanders have been conned out of tens of thousands of dollars.
Waitematā CIB’s Detective Senior Sergeant Ryan Bunting says scammers are cold calling, mainly on landlines, and claim to be a Police officer.“They will also provide a fake ID or badge number to make their call seem legitimate,” he says.“This person will carry on and provide a reason for their call: either they are investigating fake bank notes, or that your credit card has been cloned.
“As part of this scam, they will ask you to withdraw money from a nearby bank to be collected or ask you to provide further financial or banking information to aid their investigation.”
Be aware: this is a scam call.
Police are investigating two reports this week, in south Auckland and the North Shore, where two people have fallen victim to the scam. “Both victims withdrew cash from a bank and handed this over to someone who arrived at their door to collect it under the fake cover story,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says.“These victims have had their good-will and trust trodden on by these scammers.”
Investigation staff have ensured there is support available for the victims. Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says: “Scammers have no ethics whatsoever and will take any opportunity to try and con you.“These scams take many forms, and the offenders trick people under a variety of guises or storylines.”
There are occasions where legitimate Police officers will contact people as part of their duties, he says.
Police are asking the community to be aware and take the opportunity to spread the word amongst friends and family members. “We are particularly keen to ensure elder family members are aware of what is happening,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says. “If anyone receives a call of this nature, hang up.
“If you have had the unfortunate position of being a victim to this scam and have not reported this, we encourage you to report this to Police.”
Please remember:
- Police will never call to ask you for bank details, pin numbers or passwords
- Police do not offer prize money
- Police will not ask you to go to a bank to withdraw money
- If you receive a call out of the blue of a similar nature: challenge the caller to identify themselves, ask for their details.
- Hang up, contact 105 to verify the ID and request the officer to contact you
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Why Get a Property Appraisal?
Getting a property appraisal isn't just for selling your home. Here are a few other reasons you might want one:
- **Refinancing**: Need a fresh estimate for a new mortgage deal?
- **Home Improvements**: Made some upgrades and want to see how they've boosted your home's value?
- **Market Check**: Just want to stay updated on your home's worth due to market fluctuations?
- **Investment Plans**: Considering purchasing another property?
Whatever your reason, a property appraisal can give you a clear picture of the value of your home. 🏘️✨
The Appraisal Process - What to Expect
1. **Get in Touch**: Give me a call anytime to schedule your appraisal. We'll find a time that works best for you. 📞
2. **Home Walkthrough**: We’ll take a tour of your home, checking out the condition, size, and all the special features. We'll look at:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms 🛏️🛁
- Parking spaces 🚗
- Any unique additions or recent improvements 🛠️
3. **Market Research**: After the walkthrough, we’ll dive into some serious research. We'll look at recent sales of similar properties in your area to understand what the market is like. This includes:
- Location and its proximity to amenities like shopping centres, lifestyle facilities, and schools 🏫🏪🏖️
4. **The Report**: Once we've gathered all the details, we'll compile a report. This will include our professional opinion on your home’s value, often called a price guide. This guide can help you decide whether to sell, refinance, or simply know your home's worth.

There are a range of circumstances which might require respite overnight or support for day care.
It could be needed after a hospital stay or just as a little extra support for caregivers. Respite care ranges from a few days and even up to a few weeks. A loved one, who lives in their own home, will have their short respite stay in one of our village centres.

A valuable view isn't always about grandeur. Sometimes, it's as simple as overlooking a serene tree-lined street rather than facing a dreary brick wall. It's the distinction between feeling tucked away in a corner versus opening your window to a world of visual delight.

Moreover, a view isn't merely a financial asset; it's a wellness enhancer. The tranquillity of gazing out onto an unobstructed vista is akin to a daily dose of calmness, a meditative experience that nurtures your well-being.
