Poll: Advertising Scam?

Bevan from Warkworth

Did anyone receive a 'Wall Planner' - a thick paper about A3 size with various advertiser's details down each side?
I'm suspicious the publication was never produced, yet invoiced to the advertisers. Have you seen it?


Would you believe the cost of a business-card size ad? $690!!!! I have been so duped. I should have realised when I got a blank email with no company details from a "John Williams" after a cold call. It was a scam, but (as usual)
it all seemed legit.

WARNING TO ALL:

A crowd with about 4 names may contact you. They will claim to be affiliated with Neighborhood Support or some similar public interest. Do not engage them at all. They call themselves "The Job Agency Ltd", "Markat Promotions", "Cashflow Funding Ltd" or "Commercial Factors Ltd". Their email addresses are confusing, such as Lorraine Smith <arymaat@markat> and John <markat005@markat> etc etc. They claim to be local but a bit of investigating locates them in Christchurch and Mt Eden!



Oh, they'll sound very convincing and straight up. They're anything BUT.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
