Another Spark Scam..😔

Kathleen from Opotiki District

There is another scam where customers have been rung to say their account has not been paid and their phone and internet would be cut off. I have rung Spark and they have had many distort customers lately with this scam, some are elderly who have given out personal details to this scam. I was told by a Spark customer service representative that they will never ring you. Moreover, these scammers have Kiwi accents, please don't be fooled. If in doubt hang up ring Spark or use the Chatbot on their website (much faster then ringing) to talk to someone. Be safe, if in doubt ask someone else for their advice.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to ā€œexuberanceā€? šŸ„

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re ā€œallergic to exuberance.ā€

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
