Txt Message Scam
Hi Neighbourlys
For the last 3 days I have been sent several txt messages saying I have a parcel to pickup. I know I don't have anything outstanding to be delivered. So alarm bells rang suggesting a scam and it is. If you get a similar txt It asks you to follow a link. DON'T. If you have an android device It will upload malware onto it and access any info on your phone.
Delete the message from your phone/device.
It's worth asking Grandparents, Parents and Friends who are not tech savvy if they have had a suspicious txt and help them out.
Below is a link to the NZHerald about the scam.

Cheers, and don't be scammed.
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.
Did you submit on the city council's long-term plan?
Hamiltonians have spoken out on the council’s budget plans with the city’s massive proposed rates hike a lightning rod for residents already struggling with rising costs.
With more than 3000 submissions landing on the Hamilton City Council’s Draft Long Term Plan the hot topic is unsurprisingly the proposed 19.9% rise, which itself lands in a cost of living crisis and limping economy.
Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
