NZTA licence renewal scam circulating
A new email scam impersonating the NZTA is being sent around telling vehicle owners their licences are due.
The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.
CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website
Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.

Don’t Let Your Mattress Turn Into a Moving Monster!
Hey neighbours,
Moving house? Don’t wrestle with your mattress like it’s a wild animal! Big, awkward, and easy to damage, it needs a little strategy - and maybe a friend or two.
Top tips to move like a pro:
1. Measure & clear your path - no doorway dramas.
2. Grab a buddy - teamwork makes it a breeze.
3. Lift smart - bend your knees, not your back!
4. Wrap it up - blankets, plastic, or cardboard protect it along the way.
