Phishing scams September 2020

Unfortunately, some people in our community have been receiving scam emails.
These ‘phishing’ emails are intended to trick you into thinking they come from Dementia Auckland.
Please look out for these and be vigilant. There is a lot of this about at the moment and you can learn more here https://www.netsafe.org.nz/phishing/
Phishing emails will try to look like they came from a known contact but when you look closer you can see that they are really being sent from somewhere else altogether.

Example of a ′Phishing′ scam email

You can see that email actually comes from @sendmail.ve.com, not @dementiaauckland.org.nz.
You should not trust any attachments or links in emails like this – don’t click on them.
Please be vigilant. For more information, go to the Netsafe website and they’ll help you keep safe on the net.
