Phone scammer threatens to cut of power

 New Zealand Police are warning the public about bogus telephone calls being made which demand payment to the energy company Nova.

Both customers and non-customers of Nova have been targeted, with the caller threatening to cut off power if payment is not made.

Police say anyone who receives such a call can verify whether it is genuine by calling Nova on 0800 668 236.

You should not make any payment until you have verified the call and are satisfied it is genuinely from Nova.

Police are investigating the calls, and would like to hear from anyone who believes they have been targeted.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
