Beware of this email scam

The Team from New Zealand Police

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 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. Police have received several reports of this scam and enquiries are underway.

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.
Anyone who received this email scam is asked to send it as an attachment in an email to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails.
- Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
- Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection website.
- Netsafe can also provide some helpful advice about keeping safe online.

Hi Neighbours,

Grab a bargain at our community garage sale!
Held the second Saturday of every month, there is something for everyone at our garage sales. Plants, books, baking, toys, games and much more - plus we have a variety of stalls from local entrepeneurs.

After you've shopped, grab a cuppa and a treat from our kitchen cafe, or a sausage from the BBQ.

We welcome new stallholders. It's $15 to book a table (free if you are raising money for charity). We get good foot traffic, so our garage sales are a great way to test the waters for a new product, or just sell off some of your stuff. Call us on 476 7137.
