Internet Fraudsters
Welcome to the New Year new Internet Scammer Tricks. My friend recently told me how she had someone call to say her computer had a problem with Windows and oh amazingly this caller works for Windows but also amazingly my friend doesn't even have a computer!. I don't believe we've had an April Fools day yet therefore clearly these mongrels of society are trying to rip people off yet again. I asked for their official government reference but they kept on saying I have a Windows fault. When I told them prove themselves or I would call the Police they sort of counted one, two, three hang up. So I called the Police and left a detailed note of everything as calling the Police immediately this happens makes it easier for them to find the fraudsters yet unfortunately the more complaints the better but make sure you have fairly exact details. With Caller ID it comes up as Unavailable which is so typical of fraudsters hence why I believe Caller ID to ignore hidden phone numbers from wasting precious time is very helpful. Please no-one fall for this fraud and lets help catch these online fraudsters.
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)
.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
