Indian dress, worn once

Alessia from Newtown

Heya

I have this Indian dress I have bought a two-three years ago in Auckland, to attend a wedding. I haven't worn it since.

It's in good condition, there's a tiny rip along a stitching on the side, easy to mend, otherwise it's fine. I have paid more than $100, I would love to… View more
Heya

I have this Indian dress I have bought a two-three years ago in Auckland, to attend a wedding. I haven't worn it since.

It's in good condition, there's a tiny rip along a stitching on the side, easy to mend, otherwise it's fine. I have paid more than $100, I would love to get about $40 for it.

Long scarf included. It's a small (I'm 156cm).

Price: $40

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.

Since July 2018, there has been no direct service to the Zoo anymore, instead you have to catch High Frequency bus to Wellington Hospital then catch a feeder bus from Wellington Hospital to the zoo, a journey of 1.5km.
