Scam telephone calls
Hi everyone,
We have had two SCAM CALLS in an hour and a half and two last week supposedly from SPARK (recorded message I might add) advising us our landline and internet will be disconnected in the next 24hours!! Our Caller ID has the numbers being called from as 03 261 1198 and 03 286 3218, so it would appear that they are using bogus numbers each call!! They tell you to PRESS ONE for information. DON’T DO THAT just hang up. Spark had told me that they do not, would not and have not been making such calls. SO PLEASE DON’T GET CAUGHT OUT and pass the warning on to others that you think may be taken in or are vulnerable. TAKE CARE EVERYONE AND BE EXTRA VIGILANT, CAREFUL AND SAFE.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
