Poll: Can you spot a scam?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We used to just be wary of clicking links online, and then came the deceptive phone calls, followed by text messages that look to be from a known company.

The latest statistics from Cert NZ show cyber crime reports from January to March incurred financial losses up to $6 million - a 66% increase on the same time last year. So, it's becoming increasingly difficult to avoid these scams - do you think you can spot a scam?

Vote in our poll, and type 'Not For Print' if you comment but want these excluded from the We Say You Say column of your local paper.

Bowen Therapy for newborns and babies

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

"You fixed an issue we didn't know he had."
This is a comment I often hear when mothers bring their newborn or baby in for Bowen Therapy.
The gentle Bowen Therapy often results in a reduction of crying and unsettledness, and an improvement in feeding, burping and wind issues.

👶So if your baby gets upset when their arm needs to be put into the cardigan,
👶or when they only lie with their head turned to one side,
👶or when they categorically start screaming when being put into the capsule,
👶or when they latch well on one side, but totally don't on the other,
👶if they struggle with wind,
👶if they start crying when you touch their heads,
👶or if they had a traumatic birthing process,
you might want to try Bowen Therapy for them. It might just be what they need💚
