Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Onepoto Park

Denise from Birkenhead

A month ago I witnessed a huge drum of chemicals on the back of a boat being sprayed deep into the water for apparently to remove the algae, I asked the co worker why he would do this and I had hoped it would not upset the 60-80 ducks that live on the water, he said they would have to drink a lot of water to be affected. I said "well, what else do they drink!" I told him I rescued ducks and place them into this pond when they are well enough and always in small groups so they have an adopted family of their own and not be lonely.
Since this I have witnessed the duck life very sick and dying, their feathers are falling off their wee bodies and they are trying to swim without feathers and eventually die...I am so upset witnessing this and every week there are fewer ducks, On Tuesday I only saw 10 ducks.
The regular lawn mower man for this park said he is very concerned as he and I felt it like a ghost pond as their were none in sight ! I feed all birdlife once a week here and the birds are always waiting for my visit. Usually 100-200 including pigeons, seagulls, pukeko's sparrow and ducks. Even the Pukeko's are missing, yes you may well say they have flew off somewhere but I have been frequenting this park and others for the past 15 months and never seen it so empty for this time of the year.... the council are accepting no liability and I am helpless to know where to take this further. I have witnesses and the lawn mower man says the pond was always clear years ago and he can't understand why it is so bad... the bridge has been blocked off underneath and the filth is disgusting and this is where some of the dead birds have been found. The chemicals are not making it better and my question is, why can't it be kept clean in an organic way and build the pond life with healthy plants to nourish the growth and feed the birdlife.
