LAST CHANCE TO VOTE FOR AMI COMMUNITY GRANT

Josh from Mount Maunganui

Hi,

My name is Josh and last year i came third in the young innovator awards for an innovative website that helps student find jobs.

The youth unemployment rate in NZ is 11.2%. My vision is to reduce this. If i can reduce the rate by 0.1% it will save the government 3m per year. I started the site in Tauranga at the end of last year and now have 450 teenagers enrolled and have about 30 jobs per week coming through.

We are now currently in the running for an AMI community grant which closes today. The top 3 contenders sit between 21% and 24% of the vote which is very close. I need your vote today! Click here: www.neighbourly.co.nz...

All money raised would go towards expanding the site across New Zealand which will help more teenagers to find jobs.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
