A new scam is out there with scammers claiming to be ANZ through WhatsApp, texts, emails, and phone calls. Their goal? To get your personal or banking info — and your money.

ANZ have shared details about how to protect yourself, and these apply to any message from your bank.

Think twice before acting and...
✅Double-check who’s contacting you. If something feels off, don’t reply.
✅Contact the bank directly using official details (their website or app) - not the message you received.
✅Don’t click links in unexpected or suspicious messages.
✅Never share sensitive info like codes, passwords, or banking logins - they will never ask for these.
✅Don’t allow remote access or screen sharing on your device, even if they claim to be from a trusted organisation.

ANZ shared that they may contact you to check a transaction but they will never ask for access to your device, security codes, or to move your money.

My son's mountain bike was stolen from The Palms on Tues evening while he was the the gym after work. He needs it for school and his after-school delivery job. He saved up and bought it himself. It's not a flash bike so you won't get much trying to sell it but it means so much more to him.
Yes it was locked.
Black bike with bright green logo stickers. Helmet, lights and lock all taken.
Maybe you're local and just knicked it just to get yrslf home after the pub?, pls have a conscience and get it back to him.

2 pairs of brand new ,soft , fluffy and wonderfully warm winter sheets. Size is King Single , but they would also fit on single beds. It simply means that the bottom sheet might be a little loose.
They have never been out of their bags. Much warmer than flannelette sheets. No need for an electric blanket as you feel the warmth as soon as you get into them. The colour is a very pale green that would blend in with anything.
Price is $30 each pair , or $50 for the 2. They were $ 69.95 each….
If interested, you can ring me at. 03 420 04 04
Thank you for looking.
