If someone contacts you unexpectedly – whether over the phone, through the post, by email, on a website, in person or on social media – always consider the possibility that it may be a scam.
Scammers target lots of people, often for small amounts of money. They constantly evolve their approach making scams harder to spot. Most scams come from overseas, but they may pretend to be locally based — from a reputable company, bank, or government agency, or even from your friends on social media if your account has been hacked. It is very difficult to get your money back once it is sent overseas.
Scams hurt us all. You can protect yourself and others by learning how to spot scams, share what you see and report them.

Another fantastic $13 lunch curry, rice and naan from Sultan Boofiya Kitchen which is just a little down and opposite Moore Wilson's.

Also comes with a can of drink, but I usually leave that as the deal is already really good value and quality, I want the owners to make a little bit more on them.
My go-to is at the moment Chicken Boona.
Rich tomato and onion sauce with a mild kick. ( If too hot, add a little cream to the curry )
Only a slight heat kick in my opinion.
I usually have half for lunch and the rest for dinner.
I do thoroughly recommend them and encourage you to visit.
My other favorites are lamb Rogan josh and mango chicken.
As I said, I have half for lunch and the other half for dinner.
It's fine microwaved a couple of minute and one minute for the naan.
I mean, you are paying close to and over $13 in the supermarket for a frozen one which aren't a patch of these freshly made ones.
Their chicken wings are good as are their Seekh kebab.

As we alerted you on January 1 and confirmed on January 3, our systems were accessed illegally and members’ information, including names, email addresses, GPS coordinates from the address you provided to us, forum posts and direct member communications were among the data that was accessed.
We acted immediately upon hearing of a potential breach: we temporarily disabled the site, notified members and authorities including the Privacy Commissioner and worked with our external security consultants to understand if and how it had occurred. We then confirmed the breach with members, safely restored the site to service and began the process of seeking the injunction. Yesterday’s decision by Justice Johnstone prohibits the use of the data by any unauthorised person, and requires them to permanently delete it, or any information obtained from it.
This does not mean that vigilance against scammers is not still required: there is a large industry globally that seeks to use stolen information for identity fraud or to dupe people into providing details of their financial affairs for theft. Again, to keep yourself safe from scammers it is critical that you:
- Don’t click links in emails. Instead, type the web address directly into your browser. This helps ensure you’re visiting a real site, not a fake one
- Enable two-factor authentication where available as this adds an extra layer of security to your data
- Stay alert for phishing emails. Be cautious of unexpected emails asking for personal information, especially ones that create a sense of urgency.
Again, we want to apologise to you for this illegal access to the Neighbourly database and to assure you that we have carefully worked through how this occurred. We have safely secured the site and its services for use and ensured we have robust processes in place so this cannot happen again.
We are continuing to work with the relevant authorities, including the National Cyber Security Centre, on any further steps we need to take.
If you have any further questions please contact us via our customer support team at helpdesk@neighbourly.co.nz.

Consists of a total of 25 fibre glass rods that are 430mm long with metal joiners.
Photo shows how it looks with using 4 rods. Therefore with the 25 rods their is obviously enough to then spread out a system using a total of six units at this selection to cover garden plants with plastic or insect netting up to say 3 or more metres long. You will note I have put some black insulation tape on each joint fixer to add some strength-,but probably not needed.
I have two similar complete units available and if you take both I will throw in an assortment of insect netting.
$10. Per set

We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.
Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.
We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.
Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.
Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.
We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.

Geraniums give a great show right through dry Summers.
This one has double pink and white flowers,
This one is doing well in its pot.
Geraniums do well in planters as well.
Once it is in the ground it will put on good growth and continue to produce flowers.
