Net Safety Night at Hillcrest Library
Hey everyone, just letting you know that at the Hillcrest Library, there will be a Net Safety Night on Thursday 29th July at 6pm. The evening will start with a short presentation from Netsafe, and then there will be an open forum where parents and caregivers can ask questions and get advice around some of the threats that their families might encounter online.
Every week in New Zealand, nearly 440 people seek help from Netsafe for online harassment, image-based abuse, hate speech, grooming, scams, and school incidents. So, it's a really good chance to get some in-person help and advice if you're worried about these numbers. There will also be some hard copy resources to take away with you as well.
You can pre-register your interest at the following link (hamiltonlibraries.co.nz...), but you can also simply show up in the evening.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
