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.

Let's hear it for Dads and other neat father figures. Let's forgive him for the dodgy jokes during the year and make Sunday 3rd September 2023 a day that's all about him.

What would Dad like? We've rounded up delicious specials and fun times on offer for Dad with lunches, roasts, dinners, Drag Races and Brewery fun. Also on over the weekend is Jazz in Martinborough - check out the cool pop up gigs on around the village.

Choose a locally grown plant or tree for Dad from the sale on this Saturday at the Wairarapa Farmer's Market Plant & Tree Sale. Or get Dad a ticket for Wings over Wairarapa - he'd love that. Head to either the Masterton or Martinborough isite Visitor Centre for Wings tickets - we're here to help.
