Trade me scams

Glen from Central Whangarei

It seems I just got hit with a new scam. I have items for sale on Trade Me; I just sold one on Buy Now. I saw my email notification come in.

It seems I just got hit with a new scam. I have items for sale on Trade Me; I just sold one on Buy Now. I saw my email notification come in.

A few minutes later, I received a trust and safety email from Trade Me telling me the buyer was not real, it was a scam, and I should not open any emails from the buyer as they could infect my computer systems. I could see an email from the buyer in my inbox; it just looked fake, so I deleted it as per instructions from Trade Me.

I just received another attempted scam, with the scammers using Trade Me to entice people to click on links. That is two attempts in just the last hour.

Be careful out there, as scams are everywhere. Also, be aware that scammers are operating together, so if you see a post telling you to contact somebody, such as scam hunters, they themselves are the scammers. Do not give any details to anyone.

Do you think police do enough breath testing in Whangārei?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Road safety advocates say plummeting police breath test numbers could be contributing to Northland’s “appalling” road toll this year and alcohol-related crashes more than 50% higher than any other region.

Road safety advocates say plummeting police breath test numbers could be contributing to Northland’s “appalling” road toll this year and alcohol-related crashes more than 50% higher than any other region.
There have been 21 deaths on Northland’s roads so far, the highest road toll figures for January to June in the last five years​.
The cause of these crashes is still under investigation, but the latest report by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency showed Northland had the highest rate of alcohol-related crashes in December 2020.
Meanwhile, the number of police breath screening tests for drink-driving has dropped to just a third of the number in 2014-15.
Do you think police do enough breath testing where you are? Are you worried about drink driving?
