Quite a few people in our area have reported receiving a large number of scam emails. NetSafe have created a service people can forward the emails to, and they will deal with them by creating a bogus automated responder which wastes the scammers' time to slow them down from scamming new victims.
"If you’ve received a scam email, forward it to me@rescam.org and we’ll take it from there. We’ll even send you an unedited summary of the conversations Re:scam has had with the scammer – sometimes they can be quite humorous."
You can find out more about Re:scam and how it works at www.rescam.org......
For information and advice about scams, visit the Netsafe website."

Over the years we've just accepted that Masterton and Carterton have been lumped together and there are different charging zones for South Wairarapa and north of Mt Bruce. Should we accept this status quo or lobby for one landline zone for the whole of Wairarapa. Your thoughts?

We’re offering Neighbourly members a 2 for 1 deal on our Mobiliser which helps relieve back, shoulder and neck pain.
The Mobiliser is a flat bed with rollers that run up your spine and gently push you out of a hunched position; this stretches your spine's connective tissue and relieves pain. The Mobiliser is a treatment that’s been tested and approved by the British Military.
All profits from this promotion will go to the SPCA!
Contact us on info@featherstonpainclinic.co.nz or (04) 385 6446.
