BEWARE.... New Scam Emails

Gareth from Waikanae

I just got an email from my cousin Eric in the UK but the address it was sent from looked more than a little bit dodgy.

The address was: -

18-1-16-0...@ sol-du.ac.in

Saying that it was from Eric and there was a supposed photo attached that needed an URL opening to see.

I didn't open it.

Just be aware that it looks like the scammers have found another way in.

If as it looks like Eric's account could have been hacked, it is Virginmedia account in the UK OR it may be that Virgin have had a security breach and had their client list stolen.

The address it was from shows as an Academic address in India and Eric is in the UK.

Happy 2022 to one and all,
Cheers
G

OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI

Murray from Paraparaumu

This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.

We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.

Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.

November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
