VISA Scam

Janet from Carterton District

We have just received a call from an Asian person advising that they were calling from the ANZ Anti fraud Dept and that there was someone in China or an Asian country wanting to debit our visa account of a large amount of money, and they needed our details to block the transaction.
I said would call him back.
He said his name was Mark William and the pnone number he gave for me to call back was 09 88927663
I rang ANZ Visa and they said this was a scam that they would not call about any such thing and if they did it would be an 0800 number not a private number.
I rang the number he gave and as soon as i answered the phone was hung.
Please be aware do not give these people any details at all.

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.
