SecureSphere had been hearing rumors for the last month or so, that phone scammers have been posing as New Zealand Police Officers.
Until now, we haven’t been able to confirm it, but were able to confirm it when told by a customer.
Also, we were given a copy of an email scam claiming to be from New Zealand authorities (Police, Ministry of Justice) that looks very convincing. From what we know, this email scam has done the rounds before.
SecureSphere would like to impress that New Zealand Police and other New Zealand authorities will never contact people about banking details, card numbers (EFTPOS or Credit Cards), PIN numbers or passwords.
If you receive one of these phone calls and/or emails, DO NOT give out any information and report it to New Zealand Police by calling 105.
