Beware of this email scam

The Team from New Zealand Police

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.

This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances. Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond. Police have received several reports of this scam and enquiries are underway.

It’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.
Anyone who received this email scam is asked to send it as an attachment in an email to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails.
- Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
- Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection website.
- Netsafe can also provide some helpful advice about keeping safe online.

Munroe Lane Building

Monique from Albany

I’ve been admiring the new build going up in Munroe Lane over the months. I’ve thought ‘what beautiful design and architecture compared to the other soul-less grey blobs that have gone up in Albany over recent years.’ I was pondering over who was going to move in - which rich, powerful … View moreI’ve been admiring the new build going up in Munroe Lane over the months. I’ve thought ‘what beautiful design and architecture compared to the other soul-less grey blobs that have gone up in Albany over recent years.’ I was pondering over who was going to move in - which rich, powerful corporation with truckloads of money and giant egos? Then, this morning, I saw for the first time the logos that have been erected. Please tell me I’m wrong.

Southern Cross misbehaving

This week we discovered Southern Cross had been acting less honorably than we would expect from our largest medical insurer.

Removing a benefit that enables policyholders to access new private hospital treatments when they become available. This isn't experimental treatment; this is MedSafe Approved and Pharmac Funded. Making it more difficult for about 1 in 5 people that have cover with them.

It might be okay for them to make the changes; their policy wordings say they can. More, the problem is how they did it without effective notice and left policyholders and the financial services industry to figure it out.

On the basis that neither clients calling nor product research houses have picked it up in nearly three years, this is more about how it was done than it is about people picking it up and understanding it.
