Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.

Ms Singh was attacked in broad daylight while walking down a south Auckland street in 2014. “After about 10 minutes there was a huge crowd, they all surrounded the incident. Everyone was standing and watching while this person was actually still hitting me,” the 45-year-old says. It’s that horrific experience that has made her want to protect other vulnerable people. By being a taxi driver for new service DriveHer she could do that, as well as help herself heal. Ms Singh says “this is something for me to show everyone that despite everything that's happened, I'm still willing to go and drive”. The app-based taxi service is the invention of 23 year old law student Joel Rushton who has a good reason to feel protective towards women. “Throughout my life growing up my family was affected by male violence towards women. My mum and sister are the most important women in my life.” Joel's taxis are driven solely by women and are there especially for women to hire. Men can use the service too as long as they sit in the back seat and they have female passenger in the car. But Executive Director of the Taxi Federation John Hart warns it won’t be easy. “The challenge for them will be getting women prepared to drive at night.” However, Kathryn McPhillips from HELP Auckland is hopeful. “We'd all prefer women would be safe all the time with men but that's not the world we live in,” she says. Ms Singh says “you can't stop feeling like a victim for the rest of your life.” “You do need to get out and start doing normal things and living a normal life.” DriveHer starts in Auckland next week and is expected to be available in other centres next year.

Auckland Airport bosses this week revealed the 10 days over the Christmas-New Year holiday period they believe the international terminal will be at its most congested. Saturday, December 22, and Sunday, January 6, top the list, with more than 43,000 travellers expected through the international terminal on each of the two peak travel days. On eight other days — December 20, 21, 23 and 26, and January 3, 4, 5, and 13 more than 40,000 travellers are expected through the same terminal.
On a regular day 34,000 to 35,000 people pass through the international terminal, among a sharp rise in passenger numbers that three years ago prompted the airport to kick off a 30-year development plan to cater for soaring growth. Auckland Airport's general manager of operations Anna Cassels-Brown said the main advice to travellers was to factor extra time into their journey — another half an hour was a good target — to make for a happier start to the happiest time of the year. "We want people to arrive here in a good state, and to enjoy the experience, not find the first hour of their holiday frustrating because they're stuck in traffic." As well as those bound for or returning from the skies, thousands more will also arrive at our national gateway to wave goodbye or say hello. Around 90,000 vehicles come into the airport precinct every day, 15 per cent more than the peak in 2016 that lead to gridlock on airport roads. Changes to the road environment since then, including a truck bypass, have eased pressure. After a nice early arrival to the airport, Cassels-Brown also encouraged travellers to get themselves through the various checkpoints quickly. Kiosk check-ins were generally quicker than those at the counter, and going through customs and security was best not left till the last minute. "Once you get through immigration there's oodles of room because of all the new developments. We've done 36,000 square metres of refurbished space airside. "[Once there] you're at leisure — you can shop, dine, go to a lounge, there are new artworks, fabulous views of the Manukau Harbour and we've also got an incredible lighting exhibit being installed over the weekend. "Do the things you have to do, checking in, customs, security, and then your holiday begins."
A quick check in and, where necessary, a expeditious journey through security was good advice at the domestic terminal too, although its travel peak was usually around March after kids had returned to school and business travel was cranking up again.The airport's app had been improved to help travellers and those meeting them.
Features included travel times to the airport, flight trackers and customs queue times, Cassels-Brown said.
"My 77-year-old mum uses it." Navigation around the airport had also been improved — the pick up and drop off area at the domestic terminal had been colour-coded, and the wait zone car park free parking limit increased from 30 to 45 minutes for the festive season. Cassels-Brown also encouraged more people to use public transport, including those who work at the airport. Employees at the various businesses across the airport are being encouraged to take part in a three week public transport challenge, funded by Auckland Airport, she said.
How to really have a pleasant journey
===============================
- Give yourself an extra half hour travel time to get to the airport
- Go through customs and security straight away, there's plenty to do on the other side
- Download Auckland Airport's app to help plan your entire journey from front door to boarding gate
- Consider public transport - it'll probably be less stressful than driving
