The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.
CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website
Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.

Campaigners against the newly approved Dome Valley landfill are “gutted” with the decision, and are vowing to take their fight to the Environment Court.
The controversial landfill, to be built on 60 hectares of land in the Dome Valley on State Highway 1 between Warkworth and Wellsford, was granted resource consent on Monday, despite the proposal attracting 958 submissions from people against the landfill.
Michelle Carmichael of Fight the Tip said she was “very much gutted” to learn the landfill had been given the go-ahead.
She said the group felt angry and let down at the process, given the proposal was approved despite the stiff opposition.
“You wonder what else you can possibly do to change the outcome.”
In a statement, manahautū (CEO) o Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua Alan Riwaka said the iwi was “disappointed yet unsurprised” by the decision.
“Rest assured, the fight is not over and we will continue to advocate for the mana of our whānau, hapū and iwi in the protection of our whenua, waterways and Kaipara Harbour.”

Auckland has topped the global rankings of liveability, rising 11 places to take the top spot.
The survey, commissioned by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), gives mathematical weight to such a claim. New Zealand's world-leading response to the spread of Covid-19 has been cited as one of the leading factors in the significant jump in rankings.
The EIU's index rates the living conditions and comprises 30 factors grouped into five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

Dean Weber – My Life. My Soul. My Farewell.
Venue; Community Hall, 2 Alnwick St (next door to Town Hall), Warkworth.
Open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. $5 Koha – Harmony Circle is non-profit.
I’m Dean Weber, owner of besoul funerals. Originally from Iowa, trained in the United States 26 years ago and moved to Warkworth 15 years ago.
I look forward to sharing some of my knowledge and experiences that I’ve gained over many years, also giving an opportunity for you to ask questions you may never otherwise think to ask.
For some the process of the soul’s transition can be a challenging time when many thoughts and uncertainties can come to mind.
Supporting people through the process of organising a funeral I have seen the likeness in people from all cultures in the need to be able to say goodbye to a loved one and the difference it makes when they have the right information at the right times to help them create the service that they need to start the healing process.
Your soul is the indelible individual part of you that consists of your character, thoughts and feelings. At besoul we bring our passion to creating a memorial event that captures that essence of a person.
Through besoul I want to inspire people in how they remember and celebrate the life of their loved ones.
Win a box of chocolates gifted by Dean in the evening draw!
Everyone welcome, this is an open group, come along if you can, look forward to seeing you there!
