Bring back Ted

Reporter Community News

Bring back Ted. That is the message from Susan McNair who runs the Kitten Inn in Lower Hutt. Ted was last seen on Wednesday November 17, asleep in her back garden. By Thursday morning he had vanished and McNair is convinced he has been stolen.
"My place is like Fort Knox, there are two gates and there is no way he could have got out without assistance."
She is unsure why some one would want to steal a blind cat but she says it is second time, she has had a blind cat stolen.
An extensive search in the neighbourhood has not located him and she says being in an area that he does not know, will be scary.
Ted also suffers from a heart murmur and the stress will be making it worse, she says.
The Kitten Inn rehouses cats and kittens, with volunteers taking taking the kittens until a new owner can be found.
"If someone has taken him please return him, we love and miss him very much. No questions will be asked, we just want him back.
If you have any information that might lead to Teds return please call 5651193

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.
