The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.
This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances. Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond. Police have received several reports of this scam and enquiries are underway.
It’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.
Anyone who received this email scam is asked to send it as an attachment in an email to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz
Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails.
- Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

You will loose the ability to park in front of your own home and your visitors will also have limited options. This will clog the side streets with cars due to sport event traffic on the grounds in this area.
Various bus stops will bring the traffic in that lane to a complete halt while people board or disembark buses it appears from the video and also the designs on the council website.
As a resident of Onslow Place we are already very restricted with a narrow street and this will make the congestion a real issue for visitors and emergency services to attend in some cases. In particular Te Mete Terrace can be almost blocked due to the children’s park and or the sports ground traffic.
The meeting times are 4.30 - 6.30 this Tuesday at Merrilands school and again on Friday at NPGHS.
I would love to hear from residents living directly on Mangorei road to hear if you have had a letter drop or notification of these meetings. The times chosen could not be worse for working people or people with young families around finishing work and dinner times.
A stealth move as to attract as little push back on this ridiculous idea it would seem.
Once again an attempt to make a change that benefits a very small section of the community at the expense of the majority. We already have a cycle way and footpaths on Mangorei road and removing most on street parking is not required.
The small businesses holders opposite Te Mete park will be adversely effected also with people having to go around the block or perform a U- Turn on Karaka street to park as there will only be one car park on Mangorei road outside these properties directly to service the three businesses on the corner.
I suspect there will be discontent with residents competing for road side parking out side houses other than their own when visitors are expected. Restricted parking for residents can become very territorial and confrontational. Please take the time to make your feelings heard in this matter and email me directly if you can’t make the meeting and I’ll pass on your objection should you have any. Has anyone on Mangorei road had correspondence from the council directly about the meetings on Tuesday or Friday?
jmpreecesnr@xtra.co.nz
Please include your name and address at the top so the powers that be don’t refute your objection.
There is also a website you can visit and I’ll put the link at the bottom of this post. You can submit your objections there also.
According to the council website Waka Kotahi has gifted $17m to help cycling and walking easier.
I’m totally against monies being pigeonholed by government departments on things that are already in place. It’s the tail wagging the dog mentality.
We have a cycle way and footpaths on Mangorei road. What we don’t need is less traffic flow and money wasted on projects like this for the few while the majority of motorists and residents will have their daily commute and visitor parking restricted.
I realise there will be people who may find the proposed changes to their advantage and that’s ok.
I’m against it so I’m looking for like minded response’s and won’t enter into an argument on this platform.
I’m merely bringing it to everyone’s attention as it’s come as a complete surprise to our street residents that there is a consultation meeting 2 days away.
How good would $17m be to fix the potholes in our city and surrounding rural roads.
