Scam Alert- Christchurch terror attacks- Westpac email phishing
***This was posted on the Westpac NZ Facebook page***
SCAM ALERT: We’ve had several reports of people receiving emails with Westpac branding requesting donations for the victims of the Christchurch terror attacks.
These emails are NOT from Westpac and we advise anyone who receives one to forward it to phishing@westpac.co.nz
If you hover over the link you’ll see it goes to a scam site called mothersawakening. The account number they supply is NOT the correct account for donations.
The correct account number for donations to the Christchurch Foundation - Our City, Our People Fund is 15-3976-0091104-080.
If in doubt, please check with us or come into a branch and we can assist with donations.

I repeat- "If in doubt, please check with us or come into a Westpac branch and we can assist with donations."

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
