Age concern messaging

Marie from Waikanae

Does anyone know the procedure for reporting a dodgy message? I have received a Neighbourly message from some woman in Age Concern asking me if I am feeling lonely, which I object to. I don't think social media is the appropriate venue for questions like that, and anyway, who wants to know? This woman is not a health professional, has no accreditation and I think she has a real hide messaging me or anyone else with such personal questions. People can be prosecuted under the Health and Disability Act for doing stuff like this, you cant just rock up to people and start talking about their mental health with no qualifications. Even more interesting, I would like to know how she got my contact details, but no reply is forthcoming. The only contact I have had with Age Concern recently is through my participation in their recent survey. I thought this participation was confidential. Are they giving their participant lists out to marketing staff? I'm sure the ethics committee would be very interested to hear about this. I'm also interested to know if anyone else received this message, and what they thought of it.
