I just passed on a message about scammers to my parents & realised how much safer it was when the government used te reo Māori names for government departments & Māori greetings.
Knowing basic info, eg “Waka Kōtahi”, for genuine communications is like having a code. Overseas scammers won’t use Māori. They won’t know kia ora, tēnā koe, or ngā mihi.
Knowing these words could determine whether communication is genuine, & from legit departments, or from scammers.
Basically, screw racism & NACTF🤷🏻♀️
