Bank of New Zealand fraud

It may be too late to mention this, but you may have noticed a flood of emails purporting to be from the Bank of New Zealand, containing a message like this: “Bank of New Zealand technical services department is carrying out a scheduled software upgrade to improve the quality of services for the bank’s customers. We request you to go to the link below and confirm your bank details.”. This is a SCAM. Although the email and the link appear to be from the Bank of New Zealand, they are not. Clicking the link will take you to a fake website designed to collect your personal bank details for fraudulent purposes. Do not respond to the email, or click the links within it. If you have mistakenly followed the link and entered personal information, you should immediately change your BNZ password and call the BNZ on 0800 999 269 or +64 4 494 7153 from overseas. Banks never send this sort of request by email. You should not respond to any requests for personal information by email. You can find out more at http://www.bnz.co.nz/
