We used to just be wary of clicking links online, and then came the deceptive phone calls, followed by text messages that look to be from a known company.

The latest statistics from Cert NZ show cyber crime reports from January to March incurred financial losses up to $6 million - a 66% increase on the same time last year. So, it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid these scams - do you think you can spot a scam?

Vote in our poll, and type 'Not For Print' if you comment but want these excluded from the We Say You Say column of your local paper.

Thinking hats on people - HOW CAN YOU HELP REDUCE WASTE?
.... perhaps someone could sew up re useable bags for use at the green grocers .... maybe even a purpose built facility out at the Waste Transfer Station that could house the Menzshed and all its amazing equipment, and the Feilding Repair CAFE so it could operate more regularly ... or even a business or someone with space setting up the Terracycle New Zealand recycling system - many ways to do something....

Hi neighbours,

Half-price fares for all on Horizons’ buses end on July 1, but will remain for passengers aged 13 to 24 years and for community service cardholders.

For many adults, fares would return to full price, but for those in the target age group and with community service cards, half-price fares would still be available, and children aged 12 and under would travel for free.

Has the discount enticed you to use the buses more often?
