Use it or one day you'll lose it!

Anthea from Lifestyle Happy Place

🤸‍♀️ Its easy to take things for granted.

🤸‍♀️ Let's take waking up in your bed and standing up for instance. Balancing upright, on two feet, without falling over.

For some this is a miracle.

🤸‍♀️ In our daily lives, getting up to go to a job and driving to work seem ordinary that we take for granted.

🤸‍♀️ It is only when we get bedridden, or too sick or injured and we lose our precious capabilities that we begin to realise how awesome it is to be simply moving.

🤸‍♀️ This amazing gift of movement is worth using to it's full potential. Use it to try new things and get moving. Get off the couch and away from the tv as much as you can. Learn a sport or join the gym.

Express gratitude and look after your amazing body. It's worth more than anything you'll ever buy.

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.
