Another so-called 'Spark' scam in our email boxes
An encouragement to apply for a 'refund' on a supposedly twice-paid invoice made to Spark. If you don't click on the button to claim the overpayment within 12 days you won't receive the refund.
Be warned:
(a) there is a typo in the very unprofessional beginning - "Hello ,"
(b) Email address DOES NOT RELATE TO THE REAL SPARK.
(c) I am sure the real Spark WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE their customers to do any such thing.
(d) I am sure the real Spark WOULD NOT SET A TIMELINE on pressing any such button so DON'T DO IT!

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?
A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.
Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.
