Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.

Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.

If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726

Routine patrolling in Avondale has bagged a prolific shoplifter.
Late on Tuesday night, a frontline unit conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle sought by Police on Blockhouse Bay Road.
“It was around 11.43pm, when staff were carrying out prevention patrolling in the area,” Auckland City West Area Commander, Inspector Alisse Robertson says.
“The vehicle was stopped as its registered owner was sought by Police.
“The man was not the registered owner but after speaking with the driver further, his identity was established.”
Inspector Robertson says the man had numerous warrants for his arrest over dishonesty offending, including shoplifting.
“The man was a person of interest to our National Retail Investigation Support Unit.
“He was arrested on the roadside, and while he was being spoken to Police observed methamphetamine inside the vehicle.”
Police have since charged the man with more than 20 shoplifting offences, along with possession of methamphetamine.
“We will allege he was responding for offending at retail stores right across the city, with nearly $10,000 in offending since September,” Inspector Robertson says.
The 34-year-old man has appeared in the Auckland District Court and will reappear on 19 March.
“This is a great outcome from our staff and is another example of the work going into targeting recidivist retail crime offenders.”
