She was so persistent, called me 3 times in 5 minutes till I picked up. I recently sold my car, brought another one and they got my number. Luckily the lady was mentioning a wrong car brand, then asked for my date of birth. I used an expletive and disconnected. Be careful.

New Zealand Police are aware of reports emerging this month where Kiwis have been contacted on the phone by someone claiming to be an officer. The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you. This is a scam.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton, from Auckland City’s Financial Crime Unit, says there have been at least a dozen reports made to Police, and these scam calls are largely being made to landlines. “While Police do not have accurate numbers of how many of these scam calls have been received, it is important that the public are aware,” he says. “Police will make some enquiries into these calls, but our experience has shown that often phone-based scammers will be operating from overseas. “We appreciate the vigilance of those who have contact Police so far, as this will help us to make others in the community aware.”
Unfortunately, scams can take many different forms and target victims on different platforms, Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says. “Scammers are opportunistic and thrive off your trust and good-will. If you receive a call of this nature, do not hand over any personal details.”
New Zealand Police will never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, pin numbers or passwords. There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties. Police ask that the public remain vigilant.
𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿:
➡️Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, pin numbers or passwords over the phone.
➡️Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
➡️If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details. Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
➡️Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.
If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.
Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the NetSafe website.

Police are also aware of an email scam that has re-emerged, that claims to be authorities from Police and other justice sector partners. This scam has been subject of previous advisories. We continue to advise people to be extremely cautious when receiving unsolicited emails. Do not reply an the email of this nature under any circumstances.

Good news! The injured bird is back. Well, good news aside for those who hate the Pookies.
He's looking amazingly improved albeit still very lame.
He spent the day lying on my front lawn in the sun resting his bad leg and is eating like a little pig. His plumage is looking really good.

He's looking amazingly improved albeit still very lame.
He spent the day lying on my front lawn in the sun resting his bad leg and is eating like a little pig. His plumage is looking really good.
He must have gone to ground to rest and keep away from the bullies and it seems to have done him the world of good.
Thanks to all who commented, offered help and cared about his wellbeing.

A woman was located later in the evening with injuries and is continuing to receive medical treatment this morning. Detective Inspector Callum McNeill, of Waitematā CIB, says three people arrived at a Sunnyhaven Avenue property in a vehicle just before 7.30pm.
“An altercation has occurred, with the female occupant of the address being forced into the vehicle.
“As this has unfolded a firearm has been discharged, and this has been the subject of multiple reports from neighbours to Police.”
A large amount of Police resource deployed into the area after 111 calls were received, including the Police Eagle helicopter.
The vehicle was not located, however later in the evening Police responded to Mackay Drive in Greenhithe.
“A woman was located with injuries outside an address, and we have established that it is the victim from Beach Haven.
“She has sustained injuries and is in a stable condition, receiving treatment.
“These injuries are not in relation to the firearm being discharged.”
Detective Inspector McNeill says he acknowledges members of the community who quickly contacted Police to report information.
“We have been speaking to a number of witnesses in the area, and this will continue.
“I know this incident will be alarming to the Beach Haven community, and we are treating this matter very seriously.
“What I can say at this stage is that we are following lines of enquiry into this matter and those responsible.”
A cordon in place at the Beach Haven address has since been stood down, however a Police presence will remain around the North Shore communities, Detective Inspector McNeill says.
“The public will continue to see our staff in the area in response to what has occurred.
“We are asking anyone that has information and hasn’t yet spoken to investigation staff to come forward.”
Anyone can contact Police on 105 or go online to www.police.govt.nz... - Please reference the file number 240402/3715.
Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
