Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.
What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.
You can check if it's a scam by contacting |Netsafe|:
- Toll-free on 0508 NETSAFE (0508 638 723) or +6496660840 if calling from outside New Zealand
- Emailing help@netsafe.org.nz
If you're pretty sure it's a scam, make a report at netsafe.org.nz

I recently did a super interesting AI workshop.
I learnt about how automation could be used to cure pain points in your small business. For example, automatic thank you emails sent out to your hair-dressing customers, an AI quote calculator for your service business or even a chatbot to give your customers answers to common questions like "Where are you based", "How much does your product/service cost" etc.
If you want to learn more about how AI could benefit your life, hit me up.

We also got Sports Physio NZ's website done too this week. It was so fun working with Tanya Browne, the owner of the clinic, because she cares so much about her target market of atheletic youngins which is so inspiring.
She does her best to relate to people our age which is so fun to see, that's why we had to do our absolute best to bring out her gen-Z side with the website.

My friend Otis and I just finished up a website for an on-the-comeup spa called Victorian Bali Spas. Sam and Loli, the owners, are incredibly nice and gave us the amazing opportunity to renovate their existing Wix website which was too expensive.
It was so cool to see the inside of the ponsonby branch of Victorian Spas and to get to see what's behind the curtains...
