When impersonating, they use special codes and sophisticated software to manipulate the target's cryptocurrency wallets
How to avoid scams involving hacked social media accounts:
- When approached by your family or friends on social media talking about investment opportunities, be wary.
- Consider contacting the loved one by other means toverify their identity, such as by phone.
- Be careful when anyone or any platform requires advance payments to withdraw funds.

The Neighbourly team has been diving into a big question: should our curiosity take us up into space or down into the ocean?
It’s wild to think that more people have walked on the Moon than have reached the deepest point of the sea. Why is that?

The investigation continues as no charges have been laid in relation to his death.
Mr Nabizadah was critically injured on Camperdown Road in Miramar about 12.30am on Monday 17 March. Police believe Mr Nabizadah was assaulted and robbed after he was lured to the area as part of a premeditated attack. The offenders, who stole nothing more than his car keys, then callously left him bleeding and unconscious on the footpath with serious head injuries. Mr Nabizadah’s head injuries were un-survivable, and he later died in Wellington Hospital despite best efforts from medical professionals and experts.
The investigation team previously identified a connection between the homicide and the aggravated burglary of a Darlington Road property that occurred 90 minutes after Mr Nabizadah’s assault. At around 2am, a man was discovered inside the Darlington Road address, leading to a physical altercation and injuries to one of the home’s occupants. A 28-year-old man has been charged in relation to the aggravated burglary. A cell phone left behind at the Darlington Road property by the offender was allegedly used to lure Mr Nabizadah to Camperdown Road, where the assault took place.
After an extensive investigation, we now believe there was more than one person involved in the plan to rob Mr Nabizadah, and that this may have included the use of a weapon.
We continue to ask anyone who has information and is yet to contact us to please come forward. While we understand it may be difficult for people to speak with us, if it was your family member, what would you want someone with information to do?
Six months on from this tragic incident, the Nabizadah family has not received the closure they need to move on. Mr Nabizadah was a husband, father, and grandfather, who brought his family to New Zealand from Afghanistan seeking a better life.
Instead, his life was taken in a violent and senseless way.
Police are determined to get justice for Mr Nabizadah and will continue to investigate the matter for his family and the community. It is not too late to provide Mr Nabizadah’s family with answers – if you know something, we encourage you to speak with us. Every piece of information, no matter how small you think it may be, is vital to our investigation.
If you have any information that could assist our investigation team, please get in touch with us online through 105.police.govt.nz, clicking “Update Report” or by calling 105.
Please use the reference number 250317/6324, or reference Operation Celtic.
Preferably that can recline fully with electric operation. Very good condition preferred

At the same time have you been one of the many that have grizzled about the quality of those that represented us over the past three years, or the 47% increase in rates during that time, or some of the changes to the city that tend to benefit a minority rather than what's best for the majority of its citizens? Local Government Election Day is now less than a week away (voting closes at noon on Saturday 11 October, with Tuesday 7 October the last day for postal voting – after which voting papers must be dropped off at council ballot boxes to be counted). Lets get a more meaningful voting turnout this election. And please don't be put off by the STV form of voting. You only have to rank in preference those candidates that you like. It is not necessary to put a ranking number by those candidates you don't like. In other words you can vote for as many or as few candidates as you like.
Vote for a mayor and councillors, and whether we should keep or remove our Māori ward.
Check your mailbox for your 2025 local elections voting papers and post them by 7 Oct or drop them in an orange bin by noon 11 Oct.
