An Auckland woman, tricked into paying thousands into the wrong bank account, does not know whether she will get her money back and wants to warn others about the elaborate ruse.
The woman, a Consumer member who does not want to be named, thought she was paying $14,000 into her builder’s bank account through internet banking.
However, the builder’s email had been hacked and an invoice sent with an altered account number. When the money did not show up in the builder’s account, it sounded alarm bells.
The woman contacted her bank, ANZ, but by then — just two days later — the money was gone. Nearly a month later, our member is still waiting to hear the results of police and ANZ investigations into the incident. For the full article click here
