Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Shalom, JazakAllahu khair and peace be with you all
To all the Neighbourlyhood and beyond, may the season bless you with all you need and some of what you want. May you always shine your inner light upon those who live in darkness and may your love be ever greater the the hate you may face.
I am not religious, but I am faithful. I believe we all are connected and without each and every one of us there is a piece missing. If you feel a piece missing, reach out. Make a call, send a letter, an email, a card or even a kind thought. You never know who you might reach and what piece you may bring in, or what peace you may send out.
Not just for one time a year, but all year and all time and not just for those who believe as you, but for all.

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.
