Spam warning
Scam emails are circulating that suggest they come from government department websites, including newzealand.govt.nz. They contain a malicious attachment which, if opened, could harm your computer or compromise your privacy, including identity theft. They are a variation of previously reported scams where the attachment contains a bogus invoice or falsely offers tax or other refunds. If you receive such an email do not open it or click the attachments within it. Please report the email to the Department of Internal Affairs’ Anti-spam unit. Newzealand.govt.nz does not send emails out to the public.
