Financial Markets Authority are warning the community about a new scam where scammers are hacking social media accounts in order to pretend to be a friend and loved one. When impersonating, they use special codes and sophisticated software to manipulate the target's cryptocurrency wallets

- When approached by your family or friends on social media talking about investment opportunities, be wary.
- Consider contacting the loved one by other means toverify their identity, such as by phone.
- Be careful when anyone or any platform requires advance payments to withdraw funds.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Neighbourly team has been diving into a big question: should our curiosity take us up into space or down into the ocean?

For two decades, Aotearoaโ€™s favourite feathery showdown has crowned our top bird ... and the competition has never been fiercer.

Behind the fun is a serious mission. Many of New Zealandโ€™s native species are in serious trouble. Bird of the Year raises awareness of their habitats, the threats they face, and how we can protect our feathered taonga. Important work that we love seeing!

Who was last yearโ€™s champ? ๐Ÿ† The Yellow-eyed penguin, one of the worldโ€™s rarest penguins. But this year, Neighbourly is keeping a close eye on another ocean wanderer: the Tฤซtฤซ (Cookโ€™s petrel).

Who is getting your vote this year? ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’›
