First lot of Bed Rolls Delivered

Julie Williams from Aranui Handiscope

On behalf of Aranui Handiscope, we would like to 'Thank' everyone who has been part of our bed rolls made out of your recycled plastic bags. We are delighted to say that on Tuesday 1st Aug we handed over our first lot of bed rolls to the Salvation Army. It was such a delight to be able to do this finally. Matthew Marks from the City Mission will come another day to collect some, as he wasn't able to attend the other day. Our members have worked so hard to get these bed rolls done and we will continue to do these. We appreciate the continued support and thank you for all the bags that are dropped off at my gate or to St Ambrose Church 309 Breezes Road.  Our knitting group are now into a project of their own and making knitted or crochet baby blankets, so if anyone has any spare wool and no longer need we will be happy to take off your hands. Once again thank you for all your support.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
