Fund Raiser
My name is Dave Brant and I represent Mike Pero Real Estate, Kaiapoi. In light of the tragic events last Friday I have decided to raise funds to support the Muslim community. I have chosen to do this at our Mike Pero stand at the Oxford A & P Show on Saturday 30th March. Along with my colleague Michelle, we will have a guess the number of Easter eggs in a jar competition. Entries will be just a gold coin donation and the winner will take home the jar of eggs. Additional prizes would also be welcome so that a raffle can also be performed to raise additional funds. If there is any business out there that would like to contribute to this worthy cause your prize donations will be greatly received. Thanks, Dave Brant, 027 437 3993

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
