Help us TOW our Pink Caravan (Breast Cancer Foundation NZ)
Kia Ora,
We are needing a volunteer to help tow our Pink Caravan, also known as Pinkie. She is a vital part of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s community health education and awareness program and travels around NZ with our nurses.
We need someone to help tow in the Manawatu-Whanganui region from Monday, 21 November – Friday, 25 November 2022. She needs to be dropped at sites (such as supermarkets or health centers) at 830am and then picked up again at 3pm. A couple of days or the whole week.
Please let us know if you can help! It would be much appreciated :)
If you are able to help or had any questions, please email Talia at taliac@bcf.org.nz or call 093041225 x 212.
Thank you.
Warnings about scams
This Fraud Awareness Week, we’re reminding everyone to stay sharp and look out for the warning signs of scams to stop them before they start.
Here’s what to watch out for:
🔍 Unrealistic offers or promises of easy money that are too good to be true
🔍 Pressure tactics: Scammers may rush or threaten you to act immediately.
🔍 Requests for personal info: Be cautious if you’re asked for bank details, passwords, or sensitive information.
🔍 Unusual payment methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🔍 Unverified contacts: Emails, calls, or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
How to protect yourself:
✅ Stop and think before sharing personal details or making payments.
✅ Don't click on any links until you know that it is safe.
✅ Verify the source: Contact the organisation directly using official channels.
✅ If something’s not right, it's OK to hang up, walk away, ignore it and move on.
If you wish to report a scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
