SCAM - THE PHOTOSTICK

Rick from Hauraki

As an experienced International Banker of many years experience overseas I have seen many sophisticated scams over the years,from gold embossed mortgage bearer bonds from Texas to the Panama Governments no Security Required Business Development 20 year Term Loans from $5M USD at 1%.

THE PHOTOSTICK is a straight out fraud selling a usb stick that will immediately collect all photos on your PC's, Androids, Tablets, ipads etc etc etc and thus allows you to have protected yourself against loss of photos. The vendor says they are a small family operated company from a small town of 800 people in Arkanus, USA.

Well for some reason I did not locate any negative reports about this product but when the product delivery falled I researched again and found numerous highly negative reports of 2 types being.

1. Falled to ever be received and

2. usb turned up but did not work at all

I suspect that this scam has been so successful that their are copycats ALSO IN THIS MARKET !

check out their website at - thephotostick.com

It would be good where things like this appear that Neighbourly post it on all neighbour hoods in NZ.

IF YOU AGREE PLEASE DO SO BY MESSAGING ME and I will suggest that to them

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

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

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
