Westpac scam alert

Russell from Kaiapoi

From facebook page.

SCAM ALERT: We’ve had several reports of people receiving emails with Westpac branding requesting donations for the victims of the Christchurch terror attacks.

These emails are NOT from Westpac and we advise anyone who receives one to forward it to phishing@westpac.co.nz

If you hover over the link you’ll see it goes to a scam site called mothersawakening. The account number they supply is NOT the correct account for donations.

The correct account number for donations to the Christchurch Foundation - Our City, Our People Fund is 15-3976-0091104-080.

If in doubt, please check with us or come into a branch and we can assist with donations.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
