SCAM - THE PHOTOSTICK

Rick from Hauraki

As an experienced International Banker of many years experience overseas I have seen many sophisticated scams over the years,from gold embossed mortgage bearer bonds from Texas to the Panama Governments no Security Required Business Development 20 year Term Loans from $5M USD at 1%.

THE PHOTOSTICK is a straight out fraud selling a usb stick that will immediately collect all photos on your PC's, Androids, Tablets, ipads etc etc etc and thus allows you to have protected yourself against loss of photos. The vendor says they are a small family operated company from a small town of 800 people in Arkanus, USA.

Well for some reason I did not locate any negative reports about this product but when the product delivery falled I researched again and found numerous highly negative reports of 2 types being.

1. Falled to ever be received and

2. usb turned up but did not work at all

I suspect that this scam has been so successful that their are copycats ALSO IN THIS MARKET !

check out their website at - thephotostick.com

It would be good where things like this appear that Neighbourly post it on all neighbour hoods in NZ.

IF YOU AGREE PLEASE DO SO BY MESSAGING ME and I will suggest that to them

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
