Jane Allen thought her father was dead as she fled from a rogue steer that had butted and stomped the 90-year-old man to the deck of his Hamilton house in a scene she likened to a horror movie.

The bizarre and near fatal drama involved a frantic cattle chase through a house, brave rescuers and gun-toting police turned cowboys herding the angry steer with a ute after its final attack on its victim as he was being wheeled into an ambulance.

Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.

Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.

If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726
