KidsCan Fundraising Garden Party on 18 March needs support
The KidsCan Garden Party fundraiser needs support with people attending it but also we really would love some donations in these ways * new items for a raffle basket
* pickles, jams, preserves to sell
* ingredients to make sandwiches to sell on the day
* another group or 2 of children to perform (cultural, dance, music but able to be performed outside in the garden)
* another stall or 2 preferably selling crafts, arts, plants or similar
All funds will be going straight to KidsCan www.kidscan.org.nz...

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
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.
