Warning

Mike from Otorohanga District

This character is now residing in the Otorohanga area and I have been an unfortunate recipient of his deceit. I was dumb enough to let this guy talk me into taking away a cheap car I had for sale with disclosed issues, and has not paid for it after 7 weeks (Only $400.00) after many times stating he will pay for it (I have the messenger threads all kept and screenshot to back up my claim). He spun a story of someone testing one of his cars and not returning it or being paid for it and has even registered my car in his name. He also spun a bit of a yarn about playing rugby for Wales and being involved in the tours etc. I did a little digging and came across this very interesting article. If you deal with this guy with anything for sale or offered, please be very careful. PS, please keep a look out for my car Blue 2003 Peugeot wagon [FYT841]

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Pay no weekly fee until 2028*

The Team from Patrick Hogan Village
