Internet Fraudsters

Jeff from Saint Andrews

Welcome to the New Year new Internet Scammer Tricks. My friend recently told me how she had someone call to say her computer had a problem with Windows and oh amazingly this caller works for Windows but also amazingly my friend doesn't even have a computer!. I don't believe we've had an April Fools day yet therefore clearly these mongrels of society are trying to rip people off yet again. I asked for their official government reference but they kept on saying I have a Windows fault. When I told them prove themselves or I would call the Police they sort of counted one, two, three hang up. So I called the Police and left a detailed note of everything as calling the Police immediately this happens makes it easier for them to find the fraudsters yet unfortunately the more complaints the better but make sure you have fairly exact details. With Caller ID it comes up as Unavailable which is so typical of fraudsters hence why I believe Caller ID to ignore hidden phone numbers from wasting precious time is very helpful. Please no-one fall for this fraud and lets help catch these online fraudsters.

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!
