Well I need it done by the weekend. I know you're doing this on a compooter and compooters make everything go fast so you've got no excuses.

Why give notice before you even start looking? I've only done that once myself and that was out of pure frustration. Couldn't afford to do so now though with a mortgage.

Smart cons dupe shop staff in bank card scam

Quote:

She's smart, "not gullible" and runs her own shop, but a Whangarei businesswoman has become the latest victim of well-spoken con artists who have ripped off up to $15,000 from Northland shop workers.

The businesswoman, who does not want to be named, is urging others not to fall for the smooth-talking scammers.

They emptied her bank accounts of more than $6000 after getting the personal identification number to her bank card last Friday.

Police are warning people to never give pins to anyone over the telephone or internet.

They think two or three women may have pulled off the scam at least five times in Whangarei and Kerikeri, netting up to $15,000.

The Whangarei businesswoman said two well-spoken and well-dressed Maori women came into her store late last Friday afternoon and, although she didn't realise it at the time, one distracted her while the other went into a back room and stole her wallet and bank cards.

"They bought a few things, then left. About 30 minutes later, I got a call from somebody saying they were from my bank and wanting to validate a transfer from my account," she said.

"I said I hadn't organised anything like that so they asked for my card number. That's when I found out it had been stolen.

Article continues below

"The woman said it had obviously been stolen and the thieves were using it to spend my money. She said she would transfer me to somebody else in the bank who could cancel the card."

That woman then asked for - and was given - her pin, ostensibly so the card could be cancelled. But it was a classic scam.

"They were so plausible on the phone and sounded so official. I'm not a gullible person, but they were so convincing I didn't doubt them for a moment," she said.

It wasn't until she got home and checked on her internet banking that she found the thieves were still using the card after she thought she had cancelled it. She then contacted her bank, which did cancel the card, but not before two accounts had been cleaned out.

I've got news for you, lady: you're not smart and you most certainly are gullible.

The best thing about this is it has all come about from that 'real hustle' show on TV at the moment. There has been several similiar scams being run in kiakohe and kaitaia.

Congratulations TVNZ, you've educated some criminals. Lol.

That's awesome. The response I generally get is 'Google', and invariably they are using IE.

Yea their Lambton Quay store got quite a lot of my business.
Then they became EB and the store turned to utter shit ... couldn't walk around unless you're crouched down due to their fucken signs hanging everywhere; and for some reason their prices jumped at least $20 to $30 per Xbox game from what The Gamesman was selling them for.
I pretty much only buy from MightyApe now, unless I have a voucher for a retail shop.

Your Office Chair Is Killing You

Sitting is a public-health risk. And exercising doesn't offset it. "People need to understand that the qualitative mechanisms of sitting are completely different from walking or exercising," says University of Missouri microbiologist Marc Hamilton. "Sitting too much is not the same as exercising too little. They do completely different things to the body."
