Warning Facebook Marketplace Scammers at Work

James from Lincoln

Hi,
Be aware that there are active scammers on Facebook Marketplace. The reply to your listing will look like this-
"Yes Wait, I explain you will receive money in cash in an envelope that will be sent via GLS EXPRESS mail delivery service to your home address the GLSy company will send a postman to your postal address to pick up the package and deposit your money and then send me thereafter to my delivery address, I hope you understood me ."

Note the somewhat garbled English and the payment method via courier.

If you receive an offer similar to this, do not reply, just report and block.

Cheers Jim

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!
