SCAM - THE PHOTOSTICK

Rick from Hauraki

As an experienced International Banker of many years experience overseas I have seen many sophisticated scams over the years,from gold embossed mortgage bearer bonds from Texas to the Panama Governments no Security Required Business Development 20 year Term Loans from $5M USD at 1%.

THE PHOTOSTICK is a straight out fraud selling a usb stick that will immediately collect all photos on your PC's, Androids, Tablets, ipads etc etc etc and thus allows you to have protected yourself against loss of photos. The vendor says they are a small family operated company from a small town of 800 people in Arkanus, USA.

Well for some reason I did not locate any negative reports about this product but when the product delivery falled I researched again and found numerous highly negative reports of 2 types being.

1. Falled to ever be received and

2. usb turned up but did not work at all

I suspect that this scam has been so successful that their are copycats ALSO IN THIS MARKET !

check out their website at - thephotostick.com

It would be good where things like this appear that Neighbourly post it on all neighbour hoods in NZ.

IF YOU AGREE PLEASE DO SO BY MESSAGING ME and I will suggest that to them

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

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.
