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."
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
