Scam
I have just received a phone call from "Visa Security" telling me I had 2 overseas transactions on my credit card, 1 x $800 Amazon and 1 x $1000 on I-tunes. Extremely believable call , gave me his name and ID number, sounded very official. Said there was 2 overseas IP addresses had access to my desk top, and to go into my computer so he could remove them. I asked him for a number to call him back on, he gave me an Auckland number. I rang Westpac bank instead, they said it was a scam and my card hadn't been compromised. Very official sounding call tho, so if you get this call know that it is a scam.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
