Beware of the tiny homes scam

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.

A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.

A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.

Need help with your pets, kids, or around the house?

Olivia from Whitby

Hey everyone!

My name is Livie, I'm 19 years old. I'm new to Neighbourly so I hope I'm doing this right!

As you probably know, it's rough out there trying to find a job. After many applications, I've decided to try another route in hopes of meeting people and getting myself out there.
I have a huge passion for animals and helping others, so whether you need dog walking, pet sitting, baby sitting, gardening, or cleaning, I'm your gal!
I am also Grade 7 in piano and am very happy to provide piano lessons for anyone eager to learn. I have taught keyboard at Tawa Music Center, and love sharing the joy of music.

I don't have any set rates and have no problem working out together what would be affordable for you. Most importantly, I just want to get out of my comfort zone at home, help people, and form connections.

My email address is : livie.turley@gmail.com
And phone number: 021 206 6839

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from some lovely people in the area! :)
