Phone scams
Hi Neighbours , last night I received a call on my landline from a lovely sounding lady apparently representing Microsoft Windows 10. My computer was about to crash and she needed details so that she could remove a virus from her end. I was not willing to give her any details without doing my own research first and she was really insistent and spoke the techno language well. She suggested she ring me back first thing in the morning as this was an urgent issue. I have contacted Microsoft and they don't offer this sort of phone call. My computer is fine.
Please DO NOT GIVE INFORMATION OUT over the phone to anyone especially on an unsolicited call. Be careful people there are scumbags out there try to take advantage of us !
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
