Police have warned of a phone scam which has left victims hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket. The scam, carried out by fraudsters claiming to be Spark and/or police, convinces victims to withdraw thousands of dollars from their bank accounts and send it to domestic and international addresses.
Last month, officers intercepted two separate packages in Auckland containing a total of $25,000. The two victims, one of whom was an 84-year-old woman, had their money returned by police.
However, most who fall for the scam won't be so lucky.
Have you - or someone you know - lost money to this scam? Let us know in the comments or send us an email at newstips@stuff.co.nz

Hi neighbours, Gutter Kitties, based in Stanmore Bay, has had to close its doors to new rescues due to vet bills.
The cat rescue owes $12,000 and needs to get that number down before it can take on more unhealthy cats.
Have you ever adopted a cat from Gutter Kitties?
Please put NP if you do not … View moreHi neighbours, Gutter Kitties, based in Stanmore Bay, has had to close its doors to new rescues due to vet bills.

Please be aware that due to the winter season and high influx of patients, we are experiencing longer than usual wait times.
We ask for your patience and that you bear with us as all of our staff work incredibly hard to see you in a timely manner.
Oh and remember that just like you, our staff also do fall sick with the winter bugs so please keep that in mind when coming into Shorecare. Wear a mask and make sure to use the hand sanitisers so that we can continue to be fully staffed to treat patients.
One final reminder is that for non-urgent matters, please book in to see your GP.
Thank you!
Hi Neighbours, the mayoral challenger John Tamihere wants to sell almost half of the council-owned Watercare Services, which supplies urban water, and treats sewage. What do you think of someone else perhaps owning 49 per cent ? Read the story below.

Oh my gosh, my new smile without braces.

Finally, I got my braces removed. Oh, what a pleasant smile, yippie. It was a smooth journey to my beautiful smile and straight teeth. Just when you think the end is near, the orthodontist tells you that wearing retainers after braces is not an option — it's a requirement.
I believe him when he says that the success of the orthodontic treatment depends upon diligently wearing a retainer.
.
But why retainers are necessary?
.
Before I got braces, Lutz and Claudia, the orthodontist carefully analyzed my teeth and jaws to develop the best treatment plan to move my teeth into proper alignment. Because teeth are securely held in place by bone and ligaments, it is not easy to move them. Orthodontic appliances put mechanical forces on the teeth to trigger changes in the ligaments and bone to allow movement. This is a slow, carefully planned process, and the teeth move into the correct position.
.
The bite is corrected, and my teeth look great, but they are not stabilized in their new spot yet. It takes time for the bone and ligaments to retighten and hold the teeth securely in place.
Retainers are vital to preserving the great result that the orthodontist was able to achieve.
I am more than happy with my new smile and want to keep it like that.
.
Thank you, Claudia, Lutz & team, for my new beautiful Bachmannsmile.
I love my smile all over the moon. Luna

Blind sisters, Daelani and Tayla Marsters (age 10 and seven) have been taking piano lessons since the beginning of the year. Their piano teacher recently posted to Neighbourly to see if anyone had a piano they were willing to part with so the girls could practice at home, and sure enough, she received four offers. Listen to the girls play in our video by visual journalist Ryan Anderson.
