NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe
NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.
Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.

Spied a fit looking back cat mid morning today at the Wallaceville railway station looking lost and frightened. He/she followed some young people and a few minutes later returned and then ran onto the tracks in seeing my Corgi. Trains not in service until the afternoon.

If so, a medical alarm can help you regain your independence and confidence.
If you have a medical emergency or fall, just press the button on your personal medical alarm and speak to an operator through the built-in speaker. If you can’t speak, an ambulance will be dispatched immediately.
There are a number of different medical alarm options available in New Zealand, so you will be able to find one that suits your needs.

Well before the presidents debate of a few days ago was it obvious Biden was not up to the mark anymore. The use of a teleprompter made his recent State of the Union speech sound pitch perfect but his slip-up performances at the G7 meetings in Italy a few weeks ago was reported as pitiful
The sooner he calls it quits from contesting the Presidency and orchestrates the Vice President Harris take over winning the November elections for the Democrats, the better.
Make no mistake the writing is on the wall for Biden.
Whoever wins the USA presidency for the next 4 years from the start of 2025 - Harris or Trump - will affect NZ and Upper Hutt substantially.

𝗔𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲
If you are going away, whether it be on holiday, going into hospital or traveling for work, I will go anywhere in the Wellington region to care for your cats.
I can go to your house as many times a day as your cats require, to feed them, refresh their water and clean their litter trays.
These visits include spending time with your cats for play time, pats, cuddles and brushing.
I will also take pictures of your cats to send to you so you know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.

If you need to move your cat from one location to another, I can help with that.
Book a vet appointment and let me know the time and date, I will pick you and your cat up from your house, take you to the appointment, wait while you see the vet and take you and your cat back home.

Although cats need their claws, they can sometimes get a bit too long.
A lot of people don’t feel comfortable or confident to trim their cat’s claws themselves but that is not a problem because I am happy to do it for you.
