Spark scam again.
Just had a call from "Spark Security" saying someone was using my ID and internet to do some "illegal stuff" on my computer. I told the foreign accented man to just disconnect my internet cos I don't use it that much, so then he had to change tack and say it was my identity they were using to do "bad stuff". At this point I decided we had chatted long enough, suggested he disconnect my internet again and terminated our call. Had all the hallmarks of a scam with the pause between me answering and him speaking and the foreign accent.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
