A scam offering fake term deposits and bonds using the name of Heartland Bank is targeting New Zealanders. Scammers are using email addresses that appear to be from Heartland bank and the names of genuine Heartland staff to send out fake investment offers, featuring its name and logo. Heartland has confirmed it is not connected with these offers and has posted a warning about this scam on its website: heartland.co.nz/online-security Heartland has confirmed it will not contact the public by phone to offer any investment products, including bonds and term deposits (although it may call customers about existing term deposits). We recommend investors contact relevant financial product providers, such as Heartland Bank through verified channels for confirmation before investing any money.
