Txt Message Scam

Carl from Fairview Downs

Hi Neighbourlys


For the last 3 days I have been sent several txt messages saying I have a parcel to pickup. I know I don't have anything outstanding to be delivered. So alarm bells rang suggesting a scam and it is. If you get a similar txt It asks you to follow a link. DON'T. If you have an android device It will upload malware onto it and access any info on your phone.


Delete the message from your phone/device.


It's worth asking Grandparents, Parents and Friends who are not tech savvy if they have had a suspicious txt and help them out.


Below is a link to the NZHerald about the scam.

Cheers, and don't be scammed.

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.

It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
