HCC

Alan from Melville

Last week I received a letter in the post from the H.C.C. Rates Department stating that Your Direct Debit For Rates.
The Council has now set rates for the new year and your direct debit payment will be > Payment frequency fortnightly. Payment amount $ 103.51. Date of Payment change 2 September 2021> Last payment date 18 August 2022. For more information about the rates please visit our website hamilton.govt.nz/rates or Phone 07 838 6688
The new amount of $ 103.51 cents is an increase of $ 14.91 per fortnight since 28th May 2020 I ask any one how can our HCC have the nerve to spend Hamilton rate payers money doing the art work on part of Rostrevor Street when the HCC need to do urgent maintenance to our roads and foot paths NOW not when the Cows come home over the past 65 years I have seen Hamilton City or Fountain City grow in to a most lovely place to live.

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.
