If you receive suspicious texts, pop-up browser windows or emails – delete them right away. If you receive a suspicious email, letter or phone call, from an organisation you are familiar with (for example, your bank), try contacting them directly to verify whether the email, letter or phone call is genuinely from them. This will alert them to suspicious scam activity and keep you safe as well. If you gave out your personal banking details or sent money to the person who scammed you, contact your bank as soon as possible. They can stop further fraudulent transfers or transactions.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
