6 Little Stories With Meanings

Andrea from Green Bay

One day all the villagers decided to pray for rain
On the day of the prayer all the people gathered
But only one boy came with an umbrella.
That is faith.
When you throw babies up in the air they laugh
That is trust
Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning
That is hope
We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future
That is confidence
We see the world suffering
But still get married and have children
That is love
On an old man’s t shirt was written a sentence
I am not 80 years old, I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience
That is attitude
Have a happy day and live life like the above,
Remember that “Good Friends Are The Real Jewels In Life
Difficult To Find and Impossible to Replace

How to Stay Safe While Shopping Online

Brian from Mount Roskill

*Always type the website address directly into your browser rather than following links from ads or emails.
*Don’t click on links in promotional emails or texts you weren’t expecting.
*Credit cards and PayPal offer better consumer protection than direct transfers or gift cards.
*Ensure your security software is up to date to block malicious links, fake websites, and phishing attempts in real time.
*Be cautious of texts or emails claiming a missed delivery or asking for small “redelivery” fees. These often lead to fake sites designed to steal your payment details or install malware.
*Use anti-scam software to get complete protection against scams and spam.
What to Do If You Think You’ve Been Scammed
======================================
If you suspect you’ve been caught in a scam, acting quickly can reduce the damage and protect your information.
Stop all contact immediately. Don’t respond to follow-up messages or send additional payments.
Contact your bank or credit card provider. Report the transaction and ask if it can be reversed.
Change your passwords. Prioritise those linked to financial accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where possible.
Report the scam. Visit dia.govt.nz/Spam-Report-Spam to lodge a report and help authorities track emerging threats.
Monitor your accounts. Keep a close eye on bank statements and online profiles for any unusual activity.
