If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.

Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

- Check out these tips from Netsafe for how to help protect yourself from scams.
- Read about the different types of scams you could be caught out by including wangiri (one ring) and 'technical support' scams
- Find out how to report a phone scam here.

If you’re not sure if something is legitimate or genuine you can contact Netsafe free advice seven days a week on 0508 NETSAFE or visit netsafe.org.nz

We were amazed to see a black & white butterfly on our camellia hedge today! We took numerous photos as it flitted around then stopped to sip nectar & to spread its wings in the sun.

We took numerous photos as it flitted around then stopped to sip nectar & to spread its wings in the sun. Beautiful, we are so blessed to see this rare beauty; they are said to only arrive here on the wind from Australia, & do not breed here. This one was in perfect condition, hard to believe that it would have been blown right across the Tasman! I would post photos if I knew how!

Hi Neighbourly

I am selling these beautiful key rings to help fundraise for a school music trip this year. These key rings are handmade in South Africa and were bought straight off the people making them. These are iconic to South Africa and are often sold as a source of income for the locals. As they are handmade each keyring is unique. Prices range from $7 to $15 but should you take more than one I may be able to reduce the price a bit. If you are interested in a particular animal etc, let me know and I will see as I have a few more then what is pictured. These look great on any set of keys, bag etc. They also look a million times better in person and are certainly very eye catching! More pictures of keyrings in comments section.

Thanks
Simone
