ASB warns of 'smishing' scam

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB customers are being targeted in a "smishing" scam. They've been getting text messages claiming they've been locked out of their bank accounts, but it's really a ruse to get them to hand over their banking details.

ASB customers are being targeted in a "smishing" scam. They've been getting text messages claiming they've been locked out of their bank accounts, but it's really a ruse to get them to hand over their banking details.

ASB is aware of a current SMS ('smishing') scam where people have been sent a text message pretending to be from the bank. The 'smishing' SMS contains a link that once clicked prompts the person to provide personal information and a wide range of details such as login details and their Netcode.

ASB wants to remind everyone that legitimate messages from any bank would never ask customers to supply personal information, login details or second-factor identification.

The ASB Contact Centre is available on 0800 803 804 if a customer is concerned about any suspicious messages they receive. Read more here

New Sell On Behalf Recycled Women's Clothes Shop Opening 3 June

I noticed recent Neighbourly posts about op shops being so expensive now. And thought I would share my daughter's (aged 15 years) new business venture.

And thought I would share my daughter's (aged 15 years) new business venture. It is not an op shop and it won't help those looking for dirt cheap clothes but it is fashion on a budget for those looking for quality clothes at reasonable prices.

On 3 June (tomorrow) from 10am to 3pm Olivia and friend, Eva will be opening a pop up shop at the old Women’s Rest in Hastings. They are selling used clothes on behalf. Brands from Kilt, Charlo, RPM, Country Road, Tommy Hilfiger, to Glassons, Cotton on etc.

They have worked so hard and I hope that it is a huge success, from what I have seen so far I am sure it will be but I am totally biased.

If you want to join in their success you can sell your quality unwanted clothes at Ivy, email: ivystore13@gmail.com or pop in tomorrow and check it out. You can also check out their website www.ivystore13.wixsite.com....
Olivia even designed this gorgeous logo.

Thoughts on this....

Alethea from Mahora

People (mainly woman) smoking in a car with their kids right beside or behind them? And the one I saw today left me speechless.. a woman sitting in her car outside a school with a cigarette in her mouth.

Poll: Would you give your teenager a double bed?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Does it make sense to buy teenagers bigger beds so they have more room to grow? Or, like writer and mum Jayne D'Arcy, do you think a double could equal trouble later on?

After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?

Changing Jobs

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Last year I decided to follow my heart and have a go within an industry I was keen to be involved with over 20 years ago. When I left school, I trained as a teacher. Truth is I loved the kids, and I loved teaching. I have lived in Vanuatu as a volunteer, and spent time in Nicaragua, Cambodia and… View moreLast year I decided to follow my heart and have a go within an industry I was keen to be involved with over 20 years ago. When I left school, I trained as a teacher. Truth is I loved the kids, and I loved teaching. I have lived in Vanuatu as a volunteer, and spent time in Nicaragua, Cambodia and Samoa for short periods of time also volunteering. A number of things have led me have a go in a different direction. So, I am excited about a new venture as a Funeral Celebrant. After my first service a few weeks ago, I knew I was on the right track when guests came and asked me, "How did you know (name of the lady whose service it was)?" and "Did you know (name of lady)?". I am hoping to keep learning as much as I can, and to be privileged enough to officiate at some more funeral services in the near future.
At the beginning of this year, a friend of mine who is a vet, also decided to have a go at something different. She is training to be someone who writes information for businesses to be able to put on their websites. Another vet friend is considering getting into Market Gardening! And just this week I met a lady who has been in sales in shops and has become a Caregiver in a residential facility. She commented that she is really happy at the end of the day because she knows she has made a real difference.
Another friend who trained as an engineer has become a farmer!
So, I was wondering about all those times at school we were told that we would not have one job like our parents did, but we might have a number of jobs. And all but one of the women I am speaking of above, including myself are all about 50 years old - so I have also wondered if there are other women out there who are turning 50(ish) and have changed careers?
Non meaning to leave out the men here, ...it's women who have come to my attentions...that's all.
So, here is a conversation starter.... are you in the process of beginning a new career? ...are you brave enough to say if you are also 'mid-life' and changing career? Do you have a couple of things that have gone really well? Any advice? ... Guys, you are very welcome to comment too! :-)

Free soil

Shiree from Mayfair

We have excess soil that we hope may be useful to someone else. We need to remove a lot of soil from gardens so we can apply mulch.

Soil is good quality but probably includes some weeds (or at least seeds).

Might be able to arrange delivery.
