Security from Scammers

Barbara from Raureka

After listening to what sounded like intelligent woman telling RNZ about how she was scammed out of a large sum of money by a phone scammer who posed as one of her bank staff, I would recommend most strongly you go into your local bank and request to set up a password that the bank have to give you when they ring you before asking you to confirm your own identity. Everyone should get on board with this. These scammers sounded very plausible and how often do we take calls from private numbers or 0800 numbers when we can't be sure it is from who they say.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
