Cathy McIntosh from Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

JANUARY 31 – February 2, 2020
Whānui 2020: At the Foot of the Maunga Workshops - Te Ipu Kai
Hosted by Auckland Arts Festival
FREE

At the Foot of the Maunga, part of Auckland Arts Festival’s Whānui programme, is a project where the neighbouring suburbs of Tāmaki and Maungakiekie team up to transform public space. This exchange of ideas will see large-scale installations created within the communities and displayed in Onehunga and Panmure.

In association with TGTB Charitable Trust and led by artists Bobby MacDonald and Chantel Matthews, a series of workshops have been created to engage and invite the community to come along and assist in the making of these sculptural installations.

Latest scams to look out for 👀

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:

NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.

Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
