Scam alert - Nationwide

The Team from New Zealand Police

Real Police officers are warning Kiwis to be vigilant of cold callers posing as Police officers, as a pesky scam rears its head.

Real Police officers are warning Kiwis to be vigilant of cold callers posing as Police officers, as a pesky scam rears its head.
In the past year, Police have worked quickly to warn the public as these scam calls emerged.

Waitematā CIB’s acting Detective Senior Sergeant Ben Bergin says, “unsuspecting victims are essentially being called out of the blue under a ruse”.
“The story changes slightly, but it will usually involve some sort of investigation and this ‘officer’ will report having located a valuable item of yours, such as a passport.
“He will need your help or ask for your personal information.
“The caller speaks with an English accent and provides a bogus ID number to the victim.”

If you receive a phone call such as this, Police advise the public to be extremely cautious.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Bergin says previous iterations of this scam has involved scammers asking people to withdraw cash as part of ‘an investigation’ or handing over bank details.
Police made several arrests last year over the scam.
“We strongly advise that you hang up,” he says.
“From time-to-time, Police officers may contact you as part of their genuine duties.
“It can be a bit surprising to receive a call unexpectantly, so stop and think if you get a far-fetched story shared down the telephone line.”

In the past week, Police have received reports from Kiwis on both islands, including: Warkworth, Riverhead, Royal Oak, Ngaruawahia and in the Clutha and Queenstown-Lakes districts.
“Fortunately, at this stage we are not aware of any victims losing money,” acting Detective Senior Sergeant Bergin says.
“Those recipients have done the right thing and ended the call and reported it to the real Police.”
If you have received a similar call, please report this to Police online now or call 105.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 ⤵️
🚔Police will never ask for your bank details, pin numbers or banking log in.
🚔Police do not offer prize money
🚔 Police will never ask you to go to a bank and withdraw your own cash
🚔 Stop and think: If the call seems off, hang up and call 105 to verify the officer’s identity, or request a callback.

The charitable Montessori institute with which I’m connected is seeking a new legal advisor due to the retirement of our previous one.
Does anyone know of a friendly lawyer who’s knowledgeable in the area of the Education Act and may consider some pro bono work for a worthwhile cause? The institute is truly low maintenance, though it simply requires a knowledgeable ear periodically.

This van is in immaculate condition and I have recently done a lot of work to get it in tip top shape for sale. It has been lovingly cared for over the years and spent its time garaged so in great shape. It has received a new paint job from head to toe in the original orange - Cost $8,500. I also spent $7,500 on the engine and brakes so it is perfect.

4 Speed, petrol, 1600

I will list all its details below. Cheers

Full Camper -

- 2 burner gas cooker
- Stainless sink with underbody tank and electric pump.
- Original 1978 pop up roof - no tears, great condition.
- Wired and certified for plug in camping - 4 sockets inside and comes with new cable.
- Fold down double rocker bed inside. Foam replaced with Elephant foam and covered in mustard suede with cream piping.
- 2 single canvas bunks in pop up
- Generous canvas bunk in front over front seats
- Original 1978 Awning! This addition is very cool as not many have survived and is in great shape. I used it all the time when camping.

*Theoretically you could sleep 2 adults & 4 kids - I wouldn't try teenagers, they can go in the awning :)

- Original front seats
- Original 1978 roof rack - very rare.
- Front Bra stoneguard
- CD Player with Aux input, 2 Sony and 4 Pioneer speakers - Great Sound!
- Aluminium sliding door side step - can see in photos
- Table inside sitting on chrome leg, made from Australian Gum

- Van also comes with a full cover in heavy duty material with zips for all entries purchased from Aus - $800 worth of van cover

- Like I said it has a full repaint in Feb so is in mint condition.
- Underbody is tar sprayed so no rust underneath
- I also did a great mod and lots more on engine completed in Nov 2024 totally $7,500 which includes:

- twin weber carb kit which has given it a great sound and lots more power
- New clutch, machined fly wheel
- The entire brake system is brand new - that means every single thing to do with brakes is brand new
- New battery
- full service, plugs, points, oil, everything - see attached worksheet

Have also attatched a link to a you tube clip I have posted so you can get a good feel for the van. I had to flip the video so looks left hand drive in vid but is NZ right hand drive :)

I am looking for around $60,000. I have already had offers of 50,000, 51,800, and 53,000 so please if you are interested you need to be around the 60,000. Always willing to negotiate but this is a rare sell and I'm not giving it away. The van is currently stored in Whangamata. Only serious enquiries please. I travelled to Whanga this long weekend for an interested buyer but he lowballed me and it was a frustrating wasted trip.

These vans don't come up for sale very often - as you have read I have owned mine for 30yrs.

youtube.com...

I failed trying to upload the photos of it and the interior which look great - email me and I will send them to you :)

Thank you, Scott

Price: $60,000
