Scam painter

Sofia from Glen Innes

Has anybody had any experiences with the company called Good Choice Painters or with Belmont Painters or Belmont Decorator? Contact name Trung Tien MAU aka Tony. We contacted them through their website a few weeks ago for a quote. He came in person and later on, he gave us a quote. He requested a deposit and we agreed on a start date. He never turned up and has completely stopped communication, ignoring our calls, emails and text messages. Even the website has been taken down.
We're his second victim and we suspect there's more. If you've had any similar experiences with him or his companies, please get in touch.
His wife is Hang Thi LE and has also been involved in his companies.
This is Tony's face in case you recognise him or have any information.
Don't get caught!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
