Dunedin police continue to receive reports of uninvited calls from computer "fixers" from overseas, asking to gain remote access to call recipients' computers.
Senior Sergeant Craig Brown said some people had been contacted several times, and others had reported that callers were getting more aggressive.
It appeared the callers were working their way through the phone book.
His advice remained the same: anyone who received such a call should hang up immediately.
People should not provide personal details to anyone over the phone.
Several other email and telephone scams, for example callers who offered holiday prizes, or emails referring to [bogus] IRD tax refunds, also continued to do the rounds, Snr Sgt Brown said yesterday.
Anyone receiving one of these calls or emails should report them to the police, as any such information could be useful in tracking offenders, Snr Sgt Brown said.
