Spark After sales service

Steve from Orewa

Any one else had poor outcomes with Spark when there is a problem?
Ive been assisting me elderly neighbour, she has a landline outage and Ive found that there is no such thing as a speedy resolution.

Reality is that despite spending 2 hrs 10 mins to the Phillipines call centre speaking to someone that was difficult to understand, and also doing reboot and other tests on the Spark supplied modem and phones ( both new approx 6 months ago) the outcome is that the landline is still not working..
My complaint is not with the call centre.. its the process they are forced to go through to try and identlfy the fault,.. despite my telling them that the fault appears to be with the modem..
The simple solution would be to send another modem...
Spark are so far removed from being a customer service focused company the the WILL NOT SEND A TECHNICIAN to my neighbours place.
Im lead to believe that the dont give a stuff

Just shows that rebranding a Company never fixes the underlying issues
Im so please that I dont have a landline and use 2 Degrees for mobile

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...

The Team from New Zealand Police

As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.

Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.

There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”

A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
