Amazing generosity
Yesterday as my Mum went to pay for her groceries at Pak n Save in Botany the lady behind her in the queue pushed her hand away and tapped her own card, paying for my Mums groceries! Mum was rather confused and wasn’t sure what had happened… at 85 she is not on any social media so had no idea of the ‘pay it forward’ concept. She stuttered out a thank you to the lady and was a little overwhelmed by it all.
I don’t know who this lady is but I wanted to post in the hopes this might get back to her.
You are amazingly generous and kind, thank you so much. You’re an inspiration and a reminder that there are some beautiful people in the world and I hope someday someone will pay it forward for you.
Merry Christmas everyone x

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
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.
