NZ Transport Agency scam
Just received about the 10th copy of this so thought I would post it here as an example of the lengths crooks go to.
The bulk of the content is in the picture. Things of note -
I have recently renewed my drivers license and the subject of the email was a reminder to renew it. Red flags - it is already renewed so should not be prompting reminders, it was from 'reminder@transprego.co.nz' which is also nothing to do with NZTA although it does contain various characters like 'rego', checking the 'Renew now' button shows it taking you to 'tlwja-cmpzourl.maillist-manage.com' which happens to be somewhere in Europe, but the biggest red flag is that this reminder is for a registration renewal NOT a licence renewal.
It raises the question of where did the sender find the info that I was renewing my licence. Has the NZTA been compromised in some way ?
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️
As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.
With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?

42.9% Yes - we like to be prepared
