I enjoyed volunteering and the relationship was reciprocated within a year when a paid position opened, for which I applied and was offered the role.Beware of Phishing!
As the world went more digital in the wake of the pandemic, so did scammers. There are many types of scams out to try and catch us, and one common one is Email Phishing. Phishing is when someone tries to get personal information (like bank account numbers and passwords), from a large audience, so they can use it to impersonate or defraud people. These emails can look very real, and some will even use the branding and logos of a legitimate organisation to make the email seem genuine.
If you suspect or doubt the authenticity of any email correspondence you receive from Arthritis New Zealand, please phone 0800 663 463 and ask to speak to Joanne Taylor.
