BEWARE.... New Scam Emails

Gareth from Waikanae

I just got an email from my cousin Eric in the UK but the address it was sent from looked more than a little bit dodgy.

The address was: -

18-1-16-0...@ sol-du.ac.in

Saying that it was from Eric and there was a supposed photo attached that needed an URL opening to see.

I didn't open it.

Just be aware that it looks like the scammers have found another way in.

If as it looks like Eric's account could have been hacked, it is Virginmedia account in the UK OR it may be that Virgin have had a security breach and had their client list stolen.

The address it was from shows as an Academic address in India and Eric is in the UK.

Happy 2022 to one and all,
Cheers
G

Paper Shredding

James from Waikanae

I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.

Just let me know if you want some.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
