Hi Tech[?] Scammers are at it again

Peter from Kamo

I was taking an afternoon nap, when my cell phone went off. After I picked up the call, a male computer generated voice said something like "hold a few seconds for a few more questions" and then a female computer generated voice began telling me that this was the IRD calling and that a lawsuit had been filed against me for [whatever - I stopped listening at this point and hung up].
The computer generated voices were very high quality as far as that sort of thing goes.
So now some of the scammers don't even use call centres in India any more .... and, incidentally, this is the first time scammers have called my mobile phone. I'm used to them trying it on on the landline.
BEWARE!

We're talking new year resolutions...

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!
