West Auckland man on long road to recovery after high-voltage electric shock

Mildred Armah Reporter from Western Leader

A young father of three who suffered from severe burns and had both his arms amputated after suffering an electric shock on a scaffolding worksite in West Auckland, is now on the long road to recovery.

Jahden Nelson​, 28, was left fighting for his life when a steel pole he was holding touched low-hanging overhead power lines in April.

He received a severe electric shock as he took the entire voltage of the power line, and suffered a heart attack on-site after the incident. He is still receiving care as an in-patient in Middlemore Hospital.

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.
