Possible AI Phone Scam
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. 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.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED
Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.
