  1. It is very hard to help people, I have been tartgetted by phone and email scams and now i know what to look for but I almost fell for one which was from a finance company asking for my bank details to do with a car loan I had recently taken out, I hesitated because the loan had been approved by my finance company, I did wonder how they knew I had just bought a car but I thought it must be a scam so ignored it. I get many calls and they seem to think that I am old which I am and stupid which I hope I am not, the last was from the NSA in USA but it came from a UK number, I asked where are you? USA, where am I? New Zealand, so why are you using a fake UK number? It is cheaper. he then said there has been suspicious activity on your online trading account and we have all your information, full name, email and phone, he got my name and email wrong, I called him out on it then he said the only reason we have the wrong details is if you gave false information, and we will report you, scare tactics, he mentioned the FBI and CIA, so I just said report away, NSA is not in New Zealand, he then said we are world wide, the problem is I know the NZ equivalent is NZSIS. , he gave up with a couple of swear words.
