Poll: Can you spot a scam?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We used to just be wary of clicking links online, and then came the deceptive phone calls, followed by text messages that look to be from a known company.

SCAM ALERT - targeting the health and well being of the elderly

Glenis from Titahi Bay

I was recently contacted by a man (with a slight Indian accent) saying he was part of a new Health NZ program run by the Government to improve the health of the elderly.

He had information about me and spoke like a health professional. He provided his name and phone number and was very convincing with his smooth talk and knowledge. I was cautious but it was later when I was coerced to order vitamin supplements to improve my metabolism and Paypal was mentioned, the red flags appeared. When I resisted giving any details and not wanting to buy anything he turned narsacystic and said I must be insane to think that he was a scammer with all the knowledge that he had shared with me. He said the time he spent with me had cost him money etc.
I contacted the police who were very supportive and said to contact Cert NZ who said it was a definitely scam that had appeared recently.

As the colder months close in, we will fire through some wellness tips to keep your body fighting fit! 🧠🥊

First up: MOVEMENT 🏃‍♀️🕺🤸‍♂️🚴‍♀️
Daily movement has been proven in countless research articles to provide benefit for immune function, reduced risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and improvements in mental health!

A recent systematic review found the 150 minutes of mild-moderate exercise per week can provide substantial protection against chronic diseases - particularly cardiovascular outcomes.

Another review found that physical exercise is the single most effective prescriptive treatment for improving symptoms of depression & anxiety. 🤯😵‍💫
150 minutes per week equates to 21 minutes per day, or just 1.45% of your day total!

✅ So get out for a brisk walk, jump on the bike, get to the pool, or simply chuck on some Dua Lipa and dance for 20 minutes! Your body will thank you for it! 💃🕺

Keep an eye out for our next Winter Wellness instalment - SLEEP

Redwood Avenue, Tawa - clearing of the debris where house was moved from

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a post that someone had put on a Facebook page. The lady who posted it said: "Hi Tawa Community, I’ve had a friendly chat with a tradie over at the 64 Redwood Ave site.

The lady who posted it said: "Hi Tawa Community, I’ve had a friendly chat with a tradie over at the 64 Redwood Ave site. It sounds like the debris will be removed and the land levelled out over the coming two weeks. This means there will be a significant hive of activity with trucks, diggers etc. at that part of Redwood Ave. I bring this up in the name of good communication because Redwood Ave is now the re-route for the northbound lane of Main Rd (from Outlet City roundabout) until Dec 20th and this work may affect traffic flow at times. Construction on the 4 units sounds like it might begin around early August, from what I could glean from the lovely man I spoke to. If anyone knows more detailed information it would be great if they could share, so others can know what to expect and plan accordingly. Hopefully this helps people know what to expect and plan their travel."
