He gave me his name "Alan" and said he was from Spark "following up on a complaint about internet. Correct again; we have an outstanding case with Spark. According to him he was calling to help me fix it as the fault has been identified to be with the modem. Did I have 3 minutes as that was all it takes - yes. He gave instructions on what to do, but after a while became suspicious and told him I'd ring Spark to verify. He gave me full name and his ID number and also became angry with me. I hung up, called Spark and sure enough it's a big scam! Where did this crook get the info from? or was it just coincidence? Spark say the latter.
Be aware of: English name but foreign accents; background noise; ask for the case number if they say they're calling to fix something; feel free to verify the caller's legitimacy with Spark; and report the number the person was calling from. (I had the number on call minder but it was a false one)
Auckland Council and Drowning Prevention Auckland are calling on Aucklanders to reduce the number of drownings in home pools this year.

Do you live or work in the Waitākere Ranges? Are you a regular user of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park? Do you want to have your say about the future of kauri in the area?

If the answer is yes, we want to hear from you.
Auckland Council's Environment and Community Committee has recently proposed to close the forested areas of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park (with some exceptions) by 1 May 2018. This significant decision was made to provide the highest level of protection against kauri dieback disease.
As part of this proposal, we are seeking feedback from those Aucklanders who will be most impacted on closure of these areas of the park, before a final decision is made on 10 April.
If you are a resident, or frequent user of the park we want to hear what you think about the proposed closure. Please click the link below to provide your feedback by 19 March:

She was a bit upset and distracted, as her only local family member had decided to go to Aussie to live.
While distressed, she had received a phone call from a very pleasant sounding lady from her bank. The lady listened to her woes and sympathised with her plight.
You've guessed it- my friend not only gave the "lovely " lady her bank account number, but her PIN number as well.
This age group come from an era where people left their doors unlocked, and the keys in their car ignition. They take people at face value.

This habit is really good but most of the people end up getting tired by the evening because of the workout. Because of the fatigue, we get lethargic and end up having instant food which is unhealthy and the effort done for the morning workout becomes useless. Read the new blog here: goo.gl...
