DHL Scam

Brian Neighbourly Lead from Casebrook

Another scam doing the rounds that DHL are aware of:- I received a txt saying that DHL have a parcel but I need to pay duties and taxes of $8.55 before they will deliver the item. The 'tracking' number is 77294321662.
The phone number that sent the txt to me is: +64 22 027 1665.

The phone number that sent the txt to me is: +64 22 027 1665.
I have just received a parcel from the USA via DHL, so I was suspicious because they wouldn't ask for tax money AFTER the parcel was delivered!!
DHL confirmed to me that this is a known scam and one of the give-aways is the tracking number as it starts with a 7 and has 11 numbers whereas DHL tracking numbers don't exceed 10 numbers.
DHL do pay the taxes/duties, if any, at border entry to speed up the transporting of your item and then they may bill you for those taxes before the item is delivered, so if you are expecting a parcel via DHL and receive a text, ring their 0800 number to confirm because DHL will usually email, not text you saying taxes/duties need to be paid.

The Southerner passenger train will be resurrected if The Opportunities Party (TOP) wins a seat at the general election, its leader says.

TOP’s transport policy, released on Wednesday, pledges support for a five year trial of The Southerner, the passenger rail service between Christchurch and Invercargill which ended in 2002.

TOP leader and Ilam candidate Raf Manji said the trial would operate between Christchurch and Dunedin, stopping in towns like Timaru and Ashburton along the way.

Depending on demand, it could operate five to seven days a week and do two or three return journeys a day. TOP has estimated the cost at $100 million, based on the costings of the Hamilton to Auckland train service, Te Huia.

School Children not looking

I am a cyclist along Harewood and Papanui roads every morning and have a gripe about school children not looking when they decide to step off the curb before crossing the road.
Yesterday approaching the St Andrews crossing 3 lads on scooters decided to get the red light and cross early at the bus stop - quite a bit before the actual crossing. Luckily for me coming up I heard the first one shout out - "Lets cross here" - so I was prepared as they all just scooted off the pavement into the bus lane without a look - the last one nearly hit me - luckily the bus wasn't coming. I did shout at them to watch out for traffic.
Then this morning 6 Papanui HS lads decided to cross along Harewood road - all good as no cars but then they ambled over ignoring the fact there were 2 of us cyclists coming along - if you are going to cross then do it - don't just amble along.
Us cyclists quite often get a bad report but in both of these cases it was pedestrians that were not taking care. If I had swerved to avoid the scooter boys and hit a car, then it would have been the cyclist at fault
that is my winge over for today.

Hello

A few large items I don’t need and thought maybe someone else would like them or knows someone or somewhere who would. Unfortunately I have no vehicle to transport anything but I am available to help lift if need be.

Fridge/freezer, standard size, works well, though the freezer iced up after a couple of months if it was too full.

Metal futon/fold down couch/sofa bed, but it doesn’t have any mattress or cushion on it - it is the metal frame ONLY

Message if interested thank you, pick up only :) Papanui between mall and holiday park
