Possible AI Phone Scam

Gareth from Waikanae

I received a phone call today that announced its self as an AI, asking if I would answer a few questions. I told it to "go away" in no uncertain terms.

I told it to "go away" in no uncertain terms. It sounded frighteningly human but its replies were a bit off on timing and if you weren't on the ball or just woken up you could end up giving out information to an unknown AI bot. AI has taken over virtually everything that you see online as any form of video, even of people you believed you know.
Here are the numbers that I have been able to track down as being in use at present. It is Auckland but the 242 area code appears not to exist. You now need to be very, very careful now answering your phone calls.

Confirmed (at present) numbers used by this AI scam
All Auckland, or so it appears.
BUT area code 242 doesn't exist as far as I can see.

January's Weather: Summer III

Murray from Paraparaumu

Along with most places in Central New Zealand, January 2026 in Kāpiti was its third summer month ⎯ the first half of which was sunny and dry, while the second, particularly the third week, had more cloud and produced most of the month’s rain. However, along with the lower west coast of the … View moreAlong with most places in Central New Zealand, January 2026 in Kāpiti was its third summer month ⎯ the first half of which was sunny and dry, while the second, particularly the third week, had more cloud and produced most of the month’s rain. However, along with the lower west coast of the Motu, it again avoided the extreme rain storms of north-eastern regions

Temperatures: Our daily average maximum temperature was 21.9℃, over a degree cooler than average, being the lowest in over 10 years, but only three points below the also cooler January 2025. However, we were again the warmest place in central NZ with an overall mean temperature of 17.4℃, despite some eastern areas with maximums frequently a couple degrees higher than ours.

Maximums of over 20 degrees in Kāpiti occurred on 27 days.

Sunshine: The equivalent of 18 fine days was average for January, with the sunny first half of the month and last week, supporting the third cloudy/wet one.

Rainfall: Rainfall of around 95mm, was almost double the historic average for January and the highest for nine years, however, almost 70 percent of this fell in just over 12 hours as one event at the beginning of the third week. Despite this the rain was not sufficient to prevent dry conditions prevailing for most of the month.

February’s Outlook: Records show Kāpiti’s weather for February is virtually the same as January’s with an average temperature of 23℃ and 18 sunny days, so February this year might have a bit of catching-up.

Photo: Cloud over the eastern hills was common in week three.
