? Scam ?

Kerry from Bethlehem

Hi All,
Just want to share what I’ve experienced ~ I think it is a scam. Please keep yourselves safe.
In the last 3 days since Sunday morning I have received 13 phone calls on my cell phone from ‘No Caller ID’. I didn’t answer the first few times they called, but as they were persistent I thought it might be important so I answered. It is automated, no real people, the message starts “This is not a marketing call” but they don’t identify themselves at all. They then proceed to tell me my year of birth then ask me to key in my day and month of birth. That’s when I hung up, and have denied further calls of my time.
I have contacted my provider which is 2Degrees. They were very helpful and said that I had done the right thing buy hanging up on the caller and then reporting them. 2Degrees are going to investigate the matter for me.
Has anyone experienced the ‘delight’ of these nuisance calls?
Stay safe people. Keep your personal info private.

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)
.
