Every year, summer means an influx of Kiwis to beaches, rivers and campgrounds all over Aotearoa. Kiwis love summer – it’s in our DNA – but if we’re honest, we’re not always very good at it. Stay safe with a few tips from Westpac:

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.

And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 962 missions keeping Kiwis safe.

Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Hi neighbours,

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.

A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.

A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.

New taxi service aims to keep women safe

Ms Singh was attacked in broad daylight while walking down a south Auckland street in 2014. “After about 10 minutes there was a huge crowd, they all surrounded the incident. Everyone was standing and watching while this person was actually still hitting me,” the 45-year-old says. It’s that horrific experience that has made her want to protect other vulnerable people. By being a taxi driver for new service DriveHer she could do that, as well as help herself heal. Ms Singh says “this is something for me to show everyone that despite everything that's happened, I'm still willing to go and drive”. The app-based taxi service is the invention of 23 year old law student Joel Rushton who has a good reason to feel protective towards women. “Throughout my life growing up my family was affected by male violence towards women. My mum and sister are the most important women in my life.” Joel's taxis are driven solely by women and are there especially for women to hire. Men can use the service too as long as they sit in the back seat and they have female passenger in the car. But Executive Director of the Taxi Federation John Hart warns it won’t be easy. “The challenge for them will be getting women prepared to drive at night.” However, Kathryn McPhillips from HELP Auckland is hopeful. “We'd all prefer women would be safe all the time with men but that's not the world we live in,” she says. Ms Singh says “you can't stop feeling like a victim for the rest of your life.” “You do need to get out and start doing normal things and living a normal life.” DriveHer starts in Auckland next week and is expected to be available in other centres next year.
