What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Warnings about scams
This Fraud Awareness Week, weβre reminding everyone to stay sharp and look out for the warning signs of scams to stop them before they start.
Hereβs what to watch out for:
π Unrealistic offers or promises of easy money that are too good to be true
π Pressure tactics: Scammers may rush or threaten you to act immediately.
π Requests for personal info: Be cautious if youβre asked for bank details, passwords, or sensitive information.
π Unusual payment methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
π Unverified contacts: Emails, calls, or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
How to protect yourself:
β
Stop and think before sharing personal details or making payments.
β
Don't click on any links until you know that it is safe.
β
Verify the source: Contact the organisation directly using official channels.
β
If somethingβs not right, it's OK to hang up, walk away, ignore it and move on.
If you wish to report a scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
