Scam alert
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.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
78.8% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
21.2% No. This would be impossible in practice.
