Happy New Year Everyone

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I wrote an amazing poem, if I do say so myself, to say happy new year to all, but somehow swiped it away and can’t recover it, so, I’ll just say..

As hard, strange, depressing, frightening and lost as the past year may have been, take it as a chance to learn how to have a better year, decade or life, from today.

We can’t appreciate the now, without remembering the then.
We can’t cherish who and what we have, without being aware of who and what we’ve lost.
We can’t build a future, without learning from the successes AND failures of the past.
Don’t try to forget the past. That’s how we repeat it.
Remember, learn and improve.
And understand, we are all on this same journey, to what and where, no one knows. But, we’re on it together.
Be your best you, and you try and do one good thing for someone each day, even if they don’t know it or you them.
Remember the past, live in the moment, build for the future.
Happy new year. And welcome to your new now.

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.
