Scam warning ahead ….

We have been seeing an increase in telephone based scams impacting people and businesses around the district that you need to be wary of.

The way this plays out is you receive a phone call from a ‘kiwi’ sounding person, so straight away people’s guard is down as the person isn’t a foreigner. They claim to be from the bank and get you to visit a website to download their software.

Once connected they can see you screen and convince you they are from the bank by telling you the last transaction, but they do this by viewing your screens or looking at your systems in the background after you have let them onto your pc.

They proceed to try to take money out of your account, or delete files, or any combination of things.

We have seen this a couple of times in the past week around Ashburton.
It doesn’t start with a dodgy email, but with an innocent seeming phone call.

Remember- your bank will NEVER ring you and want to access your computer.

If in any doubt or you receive these calls hang up immediately on the person and don’t let them into your computer, if you have let
Them onto your computer, notify your bank immediately and have your computer checked out by your trusted IT provider to make sure it’s clean.

Stay safe and informed

Have Debbie and Thiago smiling from ear to ear this afternoon as they picked up their new Ford Puma work cars from Gluyas Motor Group.

Good to see they were buzzing about them.
Thanks to Chris, Peter and the team at Gluyas’s for making the process easy, painless and exciting for the team.
And a big thanks to Brendan at Best Design Studio who did a great job again with the sign writing of the vehicles.
