Keep Calm, Wash your Hands, Act with Kindness, Wash your Hands Again
Kia Ora, Kia kaha. Sending love to everyone at this time. Here is a little background about us: we are a small business of 5. When the recession of 2008 hit, we came out the other side. This time around I want my team and partners to know, that just like 2008, we will get through this together. We will stay open as long as we are able to mitigate the risks and spread of Covid-19. We want to assure you we take the threat of Covid-19 very seriously, as the health of our team and your family means the world to us. With all the uncertainty surrounding this pandemic, we guarantee the best possible hygiene measures at our workshop. We have increased our cleaning and sanitising of the workshop to 3 times a day. Moving forward, we will meet you directly outside our workshop in order to promote social distancing (if possible email us before hand with photos so we can provide you with a quote online!). We have a hand sanitiser station available at our workshop. We are not doing in-house assessments for people that have traveled or have made contact with anyone who has traveled in the past 14 days, or suspects they are ill. We cherish all of our clients and value your health. Please take care of yourself and others at this time, and support local business as much as you can 💛
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.
