Paypal scam
I just received an email that looks like it came from Paypal. Supposedly I have ordered an expensive suit and am getting it shipped to Brazil.
I did a double take, then I started up firefox and logged in to my paypal account, and no such transaction has taken place (thank heavens).
But the email looked very convincing. It had a link to dispute the transation, a link to help, a link to the supposed vendor --- except all those links lead to the same address when put under the microscope.
Which I am not going to visit, naturally: I expect it's full of malware.
Just, be aware - if a fishy paypal email arrives, it's probably phishy.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
