⚠️ Fraud Awareness Week: Shop Smart and Stay Scam-Safe
Scams can happen to anyone, especially during Black Friday and Cyber Monday when online shopping increases. Scammers use trust, hope and fear to get money or personal information:
TRUST: Pretending to be a courier, retailer, or bank.
HOPE: Offering fake “too good to miss” deals or miracle products.
FEAR: ‘Limited time deals’ messaging, fake ‘missed delivery’ updates
✋ Remember the SCAMS red flags:
Surprise contact
Control or pressure
Access to your device
Money request
Stop and seek support
If you think you’ve been scammed, stop contact, call your bank, and change your passwords.
Gardening work
I'm looking for someone to help get the Wisteria under control and deal with all the weeds. I have a small courtyard type garden with a few shrubs and small fruit trees with gravel underneath but the weeds grow on to of the gravel. I'm keen to deal with this tomorrow, Friday 9th and over the weekend if you're interested in work.

Bridge lessons
Bridge lessons
Do you enjoy playing cards? Have you ever wondered about playing Bridge?
Starting on Monday 19 January at 7:00pm Nelson Bridge Club is offering Bridge lessons. The first lesson is free, so you have nothing to lose by coming along. You do not need a partner but if you have someone you might like to play with, then bring them along. Bridge is a great way to meet people and socialise. We stop for a cuppa and a biscuit part way through, so the opportunity to make new friends is an attraction for a lot of people.
Bridge is an addictive game. You can play socially or competitively.
The Nelson Bridge Club is located at 21 Haven Road. For more details please email: contact@nelsonbridge.co.nz
