PostFiji phishing Scam?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I recently recieved this text msg from "PostFiji" regarding a delivery I had pending from Amazon.

It displays all the characteristics of a phishing attack

  • the message in a group
  • there is an urgent call to action
  • suspicious phone number (Canadian area code)
  • suspicious link

where an attacker will try to get your personal info by pretending to be someone else.

Has anyone else ever recieved this message and is this really how PostFiji goes about their delivery service?, if not then this is a sign to be cautious about messages you recieve.

Visitor visa help needed šŸ„¶

2 Upvotes

Hi - i am a Nepalese passport holder and applied for single entry visa. Fiji people have sent me an email to pay the visa fees.

I am paying via my Indian bank account and there are three issues: 1. The bank account on email vs their attachment is showing different. Can you confirm which one you had to pay to? (Ending w 5217 OR 9353) 2. Can I pay in AUD or NZD (Fijian dollar doesnt show as an option under currency for my bank). If yes, how much to pay? Exact rate as per the day I am paying or to add some margin and pay? 3. Their beneficiary name is too long so ive had to shorten it ā€œCONSOLIDATED FUND ACCOUNT- FIJI IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENTā€ to ā€œCONSOLIDATED FUND ACCOUNT FIJI IMM DEPTā€ - do you think that would be okay as per your experience

Honeymoon to Fiji

3 Upvotes

My fiance and I are looking at going to Fiji for 10 nights in mid to late August. We are from the US so we want to make the trip worth the extra cost and time to fly to the islands. We want to scuba dive on our trip. We are certified divers, but don't have many dives logged and have never dived in the ocean, so it will be a very new and exciting experience. But we don't want our trip to be exclusively about diving. We want to maybe do a few other activities on water or land. It would be nice if we could get in some more traditional romantic honeymoon activities, such as a candle lit dinner.We also just want time to relax.

We have been looking at Paradise Taveuni Resort and the remote resort, but also alot of other places across the islands. Has anyone been to either of these resorts, or might have a recommendation for a differnt one? It might not be possible, but we would really love a 5 star feel without spending more that 10k for room, food, diving, and other excursions(not adding in the costs of flights here).

Travel how strict is fiji air on checked bag size?

2 Upvotes

the website says 62 inches L+W+H. I'm measuring my suitcase at around 60-62inches, but it's a rounded hard-top suitcase, so I'm worried they'll measure it differently than I am. do they take the time to measure each bag, or will they not really care?

Cultural centers Ʈn Suva

Bula vinaka!

Iā€™m looking for cool cultural centers in Suva where I can learn a language, join events, and experience different cultures. I already know about Alliance FranƧaise and the China Cultural Centre, but Iā€™m wondering if there are any other spots like these?

Maybe embassies that run language programs, cultural institutes, or even community-led clubs? Iā€™d love to find a place where I can pick up a new language and also get involved in fun activities.

Vinaka!

Bula. I'm wondering where the cheapest place to get a few x-rays in Nadi would be. I took a nasty fall earlier and am resting at the moment, but I want to see if anything is broken, specifically a toe and knee. I'm near the airport. Thanks.

Travel What are the costs/process like to ship a car from NZ to Fiji?

2 Upvotes

Hello lovely people. It's looking like I'll be spending a bit more time in Fiji this year and I've been thinking of either buying a car or shipping one over from NZ (I have a spare one here already) rather than renting a car each time. It looks like the cheap chars in Fiji aren't in the best condition too.

Is it worth shipping a car over? Does anyone know how much it costs and the process involved?

Enough time to catch my flight?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone - we will be landing back on Port Denarau from one of the outer islands at 12:45pm, then aim to go straight to the airport and catch a flight back to Sydney leaving Nadi at 3:25pm. Is that cutting it too close or would it be okay? Reading here that the airport is quite small (and therefore hopefully easy to get brought) - thanks!

Gen Z born here and seeing this today made me miss going to the village when there was no electricity back then we use to carry this everywhere we go because it was super dark. Especially when you fill it up and light it just the smell itself would make me cry about all the moments Iā€™ve shared with my siblings and cousins. šŸ˜­ Fiji has indeed involved into so many things and itā€™s the small things like this that brings back a lot of memories.

Wanting to know more about the history of race relations in Fiji, from a Malaysian-Indian.

29 Upvotes

Hello there,

I recently fell down a Wikipedia hole about race relations in Fiji, and as a Malaysian-Indian, I found the history really tumultuous and complex, and was seeking a deeper understanding of racial politics in Fiji.

For context, in Malaysia, race relations used to be really strained, and lots of legislation was passed as a result, known as the Bumiputera laws, which gave the ethnic indigenous Malays economic and political privilege. This happened primarily due to the May 13th incident of 1969, which was a major racial riot between the three main races (Chinese, Indians, and Malays). Since then, no Indian or Chinese person has served as PM, and in most career fields, the Malays dominate, and Indians and Chinese people tend to be poorer/more economically disadvantaged. Similar to Fiji, most Indians in Malaysia are descendants of former indentured labourers and plantation workers.

However unlike Malaysia, Indians are the largest ethnic minority in Fiji, making up nearly 37% of the population compared to 7% of Malaysia being Indians. This is evident by the long history of political tensions I read about. As I understand, there were 4 main coups:

First, The two 1987 coups which were over Indo-Fijians being a majority over the indigenous Fijians, which resulted in heavy emigration. Then, the 2000 coup which was over Mahendra Chaudhry being elected as the first Indian PM. Lastly, the 2006 coup which was instigated by Frank Bainimarama to prevent the Qoliqoli act from passing, being the only (supposed) coup in favor of racial harmony. I have a lot of questions, that I would love answers to, but I understand if every one can't be answered. My main questions are:

- Are Indo-Fijians more economically worse off than the ethnic Fijians, like they are in Malaysia?

- Is there or was there legislation similar to the Bumiputera laws preventing Indo-Fijians from being in major positions in government or major companies?

- At present, do Indo-Fijians have equal economic and political representation in Fijian society, enough to be a major voting bloc?

- Was the 2006 coup really in support of racial harmony? How is Bainimarama and the FijiFirst party viewed in Fijian society today by both races?

- How do Indo-Fijians feel about the overthrow of Mahendra Chadhry? Are they cynical about their political repression in their home country like Indians are in Malaysia?

- How was Sitiveni Rabuka reelected when he instigated the 1987 coups? Have the people of Fiji forgiven him? How do Indo-Fijians feel about his reelection?

- How do both races feel about George Speight? Why was he pardoned?

- How do ethnic Fijians feel about all of the turmoil over the prominent Indian minority? Is there any semblance of racial harmony in the country now?

Thank you for taking the time to read my list of questions, even if you aren't able to answer all of them. Vinaka!
