Hi Tech[?] Scammers are at it again

Peter from Kamo

I was taking an afternoon nap, when my cell phone went off. After I picked up the call, a male computer generated voice said something like "hold a few seconds for a few more questions" and then a female computer generated voice began telling me that this was the IRD calling and that a lawsuit had been filed against me for [whatever - I stopped listening at this point and hung up].
The computer generated voices were very high quality as far as that sort of thing goes.
So now some of the scammers don't even use call centres in India any more .... and, incidentally, this is the first time scammers have called my mobile phone. I'm used to them trying it on on the landline.
BEWARE!

Some Choice News!

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!
