The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you.
People have been directed to go to the bank and withdraw money for evidence of the scam.
This is a scam – no legitimate Police officer will ever ask you to hand over money for any reason.
Overnight we have had five instances of this being reported, people need to be vigilant.
Enquiries into reports of scams of a similar nature received last week remain ongoing.
We appreciate these scammers are convincing, but New Zealand Police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw money. New Zealand Police will also never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, PIN or passwords.
Older members of our community are being targeted and Police urge anyone with elderly or vulnerable relatives to make them aware this activity is a scam.
There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties.
Remember:
• Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, PIN or passwords over the phone.
• Trust your instincts.
• If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details.
• Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
• Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.
If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.

Legal aid funding has not gone up in nearly 20 years. Some lawyers are declining to take on cases that are funded by legal aid because their overheads are too high.

If so, it's time to start prioritising your sleep schedule.
The science behind a consistent sleep schedule is clear - it can profoundly impact your quality of life.
From improving cognitive function, mood, and physical health to reducing stress levels, here are the benefits of a regular sleep schedule.
What is a consistent sleep schedule?
It's no secret that a good night's sleep is essential for our physical and mental health. But did you know that consistent sleep schedules can also improve your quality of life?
According to the National Sleep Foundation, a consistent sleep schedule helps regulate our body's natural sleep-wake cycle, known as our circadian rhythm. This internal clock helps to control when we feel sleepy and when we feel awake.
When our sleep schedule is inconsistent, it can disrupt our circadian rhythm and make it harder for us to get a good night's sleep. This can lead to fatigue, poor concentration, and irritability.
Benefits of a regular sleep schedule
A regular sleep schedule can improve your quality of life in several ways. Here's a closer look at some of the most important effects of regular sleep schedules.
Regulates the body's circadian rhythms
The circadian rhythm is the body's internal clock, regulating hormone levels, body temperature, sleep-wake cycles, and other bodily functions.
A regular sleep schedule helps regulate the body's circadian rhythm, allowing it to run more smoothly and efficiently.
That's because our bodies are designed to operate on a 24-hour circadian rhythm cycle. This natural sleep pattern is controlled by our internal "biological clock. It regulates everything from when we feel sleepy to when we feel energetic.
Disrupting our circadian rhythm by sleeping at different times each night can lead to all sorts of problems, including insomnia, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
Improves mood and cognitive function
Getting enough quality sleep is essential for good mental health.
A regular sleep schedule ensures that your body gets the rest it needs to function properly. This can help improve mood and cognitive function and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety.
Enhances the immune system and overall health
Getting enough sleep is important for overall health and wellness.
There are several reasons why sleep is so important for the immune system.
When you sleep, your body produces cytokines. These are proteins that help to fight off infection and inflammation.
In addition, sleep helps to reduce stress levels. Stress can impact the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off illness.
Reduces risk of chronic health conditions
A regular sleep schedule can help to reduce the risk of chronic health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic health conditions are "conditions that last one year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living." Some examples of chronic health conditions include heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and asthma.
Furthermore, research has shown that a lack of sleep can increase your risk of developing chronic health conditions. For example, one study found that individuals who slept less than six hours per night had a significantly increased risk of developing coronary artery disease.
Promotes a more restful and restorative sleep
A regular sleep schedule promotes more restful and restorative sleep. Having a consistent bedtime and wake time helps to set the body's internal clock, allowing you to fall asleep more easily and stay asleep longer. This can leave you feeling more refreshed and energised in the morning.
Tips for adopting a consistent sleep schedule
Fortunately, you can do a few simple things to help get your sleep cycle back on track. Here are some tips for adopting a consistent sleep schedule:
1. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
2. Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. To get the most out of your sleep, avoid drinking coffee, tea, or other caffeinated beverages after 2 pm and abstain from alcohol at least 4 hours before bedtime.
3. Create a calming bedtime routine. A relaxing bedtime routine can help signal your body that it's time for sleep.
4. Avoid looking at screens for at least an hour before bed. The blue light emitted from TVs, computers, and phones can disrupt our natural melatonin production and make it harder to fall asleep.
5. It may take some time to adjust if you're not used to following a regular sleep schedule. But stick with it – your body will thank you!

Kudos - affordable fruit and veggies is to be applauded.
