If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.

Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

- Check out these tips from Netsafe for how to help protect yourself from scams.
- Read about the different types of scams you could be caught out by including wangiri (one ring) and 'technical support' scams
- Find out how to report a phone scam here.

We took numerous photos as it flitted around then stopped to sip nectar & to spread its wings in the sun. Beautiful, we are so blessed to see this rare beauty; they are said to only arrive here on the wind from Australia, & do not breed here. This one was in perfect condition, hard to believe that it would have been blown right across the Tasman! I would post photos if I knew how!
