Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect.

This can be true even if the life changes are a … View moreDownsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.

Carethy internet shopping site DO NOT USE scammers
If anyone is doing an internet search for a particular item and you consider buying anything from Carethy.net, Carethy.com or Carethy. nz. DO NOT!

They are a bunch of scammers which as I now notice is very much out there in their reviews. I wished I had known this before I ordered. The general theme seems to be the same. You order what you want, they take your payment and it all looks very professional. Weeks later and after many emails to them, they inform you that they do not have the stock. They offer you the opportunity to spend your money elsewhere on their site rather than a refund. This is also a con so don’t go there either! Eventually, you will manage to get a response which offers you a refund within 14 business days! (Does it really take that long to refund a card). Anyway, that is where any communication with you ends, no matter how many emails a day you could possibly send, and they run off into the sunset with your hard earned cash. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, IT IS A SCAM! Please share this information far and wide so that they hopefully stop thinking they can scam Kiwis.

Scammers posing as Police officers

New Zealand Police are aware of reports emerging this month where Kiwis have been contacted on the phone by someone claiming to be an officer. The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you. This is a scam.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton, from Auckland City’s Financial Crime Unit, says there have been at least a dozen reports made to Police, and these scam calls are largely being made to landlines. “While Police do not have accurate numbers of how many of these scam calls have been received, it is important that the public are aware,” he says. “Police will make some enquiries into these calls, but our experience has shown that often phone-based scammers will be operating from overseas. “We appreciate the vigilance of those who have contact Police so far, as this will help us to make others in the community aware.”
Unfortunately, scams can take many different forms and target victims on different platforms, Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says. “Scammers are opportunistic and thrive off your trust and good-will. If you receive a call of this nature, do not hand over any personal details.”
New Zealand Police will never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, pin numbers or passwords. There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties. Police ask that the public remain vigilant.
𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿:
➡️Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, pin numbers or passwords over the phone.
➡️Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
➡️If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details. Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
➡️Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.
If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.
Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the NetSafe website.
𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺:
Police are also aware of an email scam that has re-emerged, that claims to be authorities from Police and other justice sector partners. This scam has been subject of previous advisories. We continue to advise people to be extremely cautious when receiving unsolicited emails. Do not reply an the email of this nature under any circumstances.

Trees planted too close?
Trees that are too big?
Trees with branches overhanging the gutter and rooflines?
Pruning to reduce the size, height, and proximity to houses, buildings, gutters, roofs and drains not only helps to prevent excess debris from entering these drainage systems, it also promotes healthier tree growth and overall aesthetic appeal in preparation for next season.
