Hawke's Bay Show

Denise from Marewa

Did you know that they have competitions for people who knit, sew, embroider, make chutney or relish, do woodwork and more? If you enter an item into the show, the entry fee is $5 per item but you get a free ticket to the show, which would cost you $15 otherwise.
What used to be called "Homecrafts" has so few entries and categories compared to 2017 when I last entered partly due to a lack of promotion, so if you can, please put something in the Show to help make it what it used to be. The show is only held over 2 days now too.
Here is the link to the Show site:

Police are warning people to be on alert for the latest round of email scams referencing Police and other justice agencies.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer and located explicit illegal material.

The recipient is directed to reply within 72 hours, or a warrant will be issued for their arrest. This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances.

Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond.

While the nature and specific details of scams often varies, it’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.

Police have received several reports of this scam and enquires are underway.

Anyone who received this email can either forward the spam email to the Department of Internal Affairs directly at complaint@spam.govt.nz or use their online reporting portal: www.reportspam.co.nz...

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails. Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

Consumer Protection NZ, along with Netsafe, also provides helpful advice about keeping safe online.

Anyone who has received this email can report it to police online via www.police.govt.nz.... Please reference file number 240830/5842.
