Bad Advice On NewstalkZB

Michael from Trentham

Just caught the end of the Nick Mills talkback show on NewstalkZB this morning(Friday, August 13) and a studio panel member seriously encouraged listeners to go onto a website (cogo.com) for a bit of amusement with the website enabling its acceptors to get relative info on their own personality and preferences such as which restaurant would suit them best. The panel member said people joining in would need to offer up their bank account number at which time Mills said that this seems dangerous and he wouldn't do it but the panel member reassured Mills it was all harmless and a lot of fun.
So I logged onto www.cogo.com... and it is a scam and a fraud and could do a lot of harm. Do not go into this website.
I have sent Rosie, the producer of this Newstalk ZB programme an email.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
