Scam alert

Archana from Henderson

Hi all,
My husband found this contractor Named Neil on one of the tradie website who claims to do small building work including decks and stuff. We paid him around 1200$ initially to buy the wood and other stuff. He then dumped wood , I am not even sure if it’s enough to built the deck. He disappeared for two weeks. then one day after texting and calling him numerous times sends a man to dig our backyard pretending that work is going to start soon. We paid extra 100 $ to that man who did the digging and cleaning the plants and stuff. It’s been more than a month, he disappeared completely. he hasn’t responding to our calls or txt or emails. Completely ruined our backyard . What should we do now? Any suggestion would be nice. I am attaching his business card so people can be aware how fraud and dishonest this person and his business is.

P.s - please recommend someone who can complete the job and is honest and reliable.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
