Be vigilant with mail
Police are aware of a recent overseas rise in scams which involve an unexpected package being sent to addresses with a gift and a QR code inside. Police believe this scamming method could find its way to New Zealand and we are urging people to be vigilant.
The gift will have the recipients address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.
The QR code allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you used to scan the code, including financial information such as your bank account login details, and personal data.
Police are urging anyone who receives one of these gifts not to scan the QR code, the gift can either be kept or discarded, but do not scan the QR code.
Please report information to Police online at www.police.govt.nz... or call Police on 105.

Thank you all who helped this year
"Wearing my heart out to my amazing neighbours -
THANK YOU for an incredible year! 🙏🏼
Your generosity in donating lawnmowers to restore and resell has enabled me to volunteer in prison every month, sharing hope and encouragement with the guys inside. There are lives being changed, testimonies being born, and yes, there are also lives not changed YET... but I won't give up! 😊 I'll keep turning up, month after month, year after year, because I know there is lives to be change.
If you still have lawnmowers you don't want or have upgraded, please keep donating! Every mower contributes to the ripple effect of changing a man’s soul, which can change a nation. 🌟 Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and a happy, healthy new year! 🙏🏼 #blessed #gratitude #prisonministry #changinglives"
