Latest Scams

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

Hi all, just to let you know latest scam phone calls we have had this week after quite a break from them.
1. Foreign lady phoned on landline late at night this week to advise she was ringing me from Google regarding my computer connection. I have a large hooter by the phone so she got her eardrums blasted and I hung up the phone on her.
2. The second and more worrying call was yesterday - it was a pre-recorded message which the lady said she was from Mastercard and that there had been a large transaction on my card for $1,120.00 at New World and for me to press one to talk to a supervisor. I hung up immediately but some people could be sucked in on this one. These scammers are becoming more clever. Be careful out there people.

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.
