YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO !! PLEASE SHARE YOUR OFFICE SKILLS FOR A FEW HOURS A MONTH
Hello everyone ! Grey Power Rotorua is shortly to have its annual election of Committee Members. One of those officers is a Secretary, a word that seems to frighten a lot of people as soon as they hear / read it - so please read on!
Really, while we have an official position called Secretary, which, if you wanted to apply, would love to give someone, what we REALLY need, whether you join the Committee or not, is someone / a couple of people to give an hour or so a week to take care of office routine things that involve the internet, using a computer, and the like. Being able to type is pretty useful ! It never involves sales or door knocking or anything of that ilk.
We are totally flexible about the time of day the work gets done, and can operate through all the Clouds there are !! Our office tasks can be broken into discrete task-parcels easily, and we would more more than happy to have you do a set parcel, and find others to do the rest eg we have a Minute Secretary, and hope to have one again. If this could be you, then do let us know, no one is confirmed in the position.
If you are at all looking for somewhere to contribute a little bit of time, perhaps find out a lot of interesting stuff that may help with your own plans for retirement, and meet some awesome volunteers already doing their bit, we'd love to hear from you. You can check us out on our website, and private message me if you wish for more information, or email gpr.miriamruberl@gmail.com
Latest scams to look out for 👀
Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:
NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe
NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.
Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.
