We have been made aware that someone claiming to be from Bowel Cancer NZ is contacting people with a phone survey around personal bowel habits.
Bowel Cancer NZ is NOT doing a survey on this or anything else currently. We have reported the incident to the national cyber security centre.
If you are contacted, don’t answer any questions. Hang up.
You can get help from https://netsafe.org.nz/ and if you let us know via info@bowelcancernz.org.nz we will keep the authorities informed.
Your safety and security is paramount to us.
If we at Bowel Cancer NZ ever do a survey, we always communicate about it first via our website, bottom lines newsletter, and social media. And we will never call you to ask for bank details.
If you ever receive a call claiming to be from BCNZ please do feel free to hang up and call us back on the free numbers listed on our website so you can verify it is us.
