Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, unsolicited calls promising financial gains often hide ulterior motives. This interaction raises red flags with the push for a quick survey on Kiwisaver investments, a common scam tactic to extract personal details. Hang up immediately on such pitches—legitimate advisors don't cold-call for '5 minutes' chats. Protect yourself by verifying any investment advice through official channels like the Financial Markets Authority. Enable call blocking on your phone, register with the Do Not Call list, and never share sensitive info over unsolicited calls. If suspicious, report to authorities to safeguard others.
A caller offered KiwiSaver investment advice and a short survey, but I asked to meet in person because of numerous scammers.
