Heads up: New Scam!

Ian from Papanui

It starts with a highly personalised email offering something valuable for a stupid price, like a Samsung smart phone for $1. You just have to click on a link to claim your ‘prize’.

But clicking it sends you down a rabbit hole of complex terms & conditions in difficult-to-read text that will lock you into credit card deductions that you will be deemed to have willingly signed up for. Forget getting refunds from the bank when you realise you have been swindled.

Never forget the First Rule of the Internet: IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!!

If you want to read the gruesome details have a look at <aardvark.co.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
