Retirement in New Zealand is evolving as people live longer, healthier lives, and the number of Kiwis who choose to continue working later in life is rising.

Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:

NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.

Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.

Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.

Hello, my dear neighbors.
There is a creative 13-year-old boy named Barry. He pursues his dream of becoming a laser engraver in his spare time.

His first project was to create a custom tag for a friend’s pet. Barry designed a cute pattern, engraving the pet’s name on the front and a phone number on the back to prevent the pet from getting lost. The finished tag was both beautiful and practical, and the friend’s dog seemed very pleased with it.

As time went by, Barry’s skills improved, and his engraving work began to be loved by friends and neighbors. He started receiving various custom requests, including engraving names on tools or water bottle to prevent loss and engraving photos on necklaces and keychains to preserve precious memories.
If any neighbors are interested, they can check out his Instagram(byrk_goods). Thank you all for your support!
