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.

Wide Fit: Last 102
Size: Mondo 28-28.5, Euro 43/44, UK 9.5/10, US 10/10.5
Alpine sole - non grip walk
Stiff flex (130) so if you like tearing up the groomers or are a hard charger then these are suited to you as an Advanced/Expert skier.
2 adjustable wide buckles and 40mm Velcro strap for secure fit.
Used these mainly overseas but as I'm getting older their weight and stiffness doesn't suit my skiing anymore.
Has minor scuffs but not noticeable unless really close up
You should get new inner soles moulded to fit your feet (any ski shop should be able to do that) as I've put in a basic inner from my new boots.
Priced to sell.
Wanting to buy Commodore computer parts. Looking for keyboards, datasette players, games, floppy disc drives, power units and monitors etc. Any condition, even not going.
Also any Atari consoles considered.
