New IRD email scam alert

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

IRD is warning of a new scam that asking customers for credit card details. IRD has received a significant number of report about the email.

It is a very good copy of a legitimate IR email. It can be detected by the following:
- The From Field does not end in ird.govt.nz
- Hovering the cursor over the weblink does not point to an IRD.GOVT.NZ website.
- Do not click as these are not from IRD. We will never advise you that you are due a tax refund through email.

Anyone who receives an email from the IRD, or someone claiming to be the IRD should get in contact with them.

Below is an example of the scam email:

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
