Be aware, police have identified a new telephone scam targeting New Zealanders. If you receive an angry call from someone seeking compensation for car damages, hang up. To read more, click here.
What you need to know:
- The call will be from an international number that's then redirected through a local number.
- The aggressive scammer could be very convincing.
- Upon answering, they demand money for damages from a vehicle collision they claim you were involved in.
- Police are urging people to warn elderly relatives so they do not fall victim to the scam and lose money.
- If you receive a call of this nature, police advise you to hang up immediately.
Primary and secondary teachers could strike following discussions around the latest round of negotiations between teachers and the Government.
Naenae College hosted one of 34 Post Primary Teachers' Association (PPTA) meetings on Tuesday afternoon.
