Scam Alert: Investment scam and remote access

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Be aware of an investment scam that is allowing access to people’s phones.

How it works: The scam encourages you to install an app from an unverified source. This requires that you change your phone settings.

❌ DO NOT allow your phone to install unknown apps.

Once the app is installed, the scammers can gain access to your phone’s info. This will impact you, but may also facilitate scams on people you know using information lifted from your phone and installed apps.
