Here's what you need to know about phone scams
In recent weeks there has been a high number of calls from false caller IDs to kiwi mobile phones. If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.
Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
