Beware bogus Baycorp callers

Christchurch locals are urged to watch out for bogus Baycorp callers.

One woman, who doesn't want to be named, was contacted by an American woman yesterday, telling her she was in overdraft.

She didn't believe it and asked to have her name and address read back to her.

The woman refused to give those details, saying they were confidential.

The Christchurch woman then rang her bank and Baycorp only to be told everything was fine.

She's concerned other people may be sucked in.
