SCAM ALERT - targeting the health and well being of the elderly
I was recently contacted by a man (with a slight Indian accent) saying he was part of a new Health NZ program run by the Government to improve the health of the elderly. He had information about me and spoke like a health professional. He provided his name and phone number and was very convincing with his smooth talk and knowledge. I was cautious but it was later when I was coerced to order vitamin supplements to improve my metabolism and Paypal was mentioned, the red flags appeared. When I resisted giving any details and not wanting to buy anything he turned narsacystic and said I must be insane to think that he was a scammer with all the knowledge that he had shared with me. He said the time he spent with me had cost him money etc.
I contacted the police who were very supportive and said to contact Cert NZ who said it was a definitely scam that had appeared recently.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
