phone call re my computer
This morning a very aggressive phone caller with a foreign accent told me that he was from Spark's technical service and that my computer had Malware and I was about to lose everything in it and my computer would never be able to be fixed. Of course I knew he was lying and was not from Spark or he would have known I'm not with Spark. I kept him talking so that he would not be intimidating anyone else. He told me I had to give him my credit card number so he could fix my malware. He would not accept I was not with Spark, did not believe that I do not have a credit card and shouted at me that I would be sorry if I didn't co-operate, that my computer would be ruined. I said "how dare you threaten me, I want to talk to your supervisor." He then hung up. These crooks must be sucking in some naïve people so please don't be taken in by them.
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)
.
