Scam alert

Archana from Henderson

Hi all,
My husband found this contractor Named Neil on one of the tradie website who claims to do small building work including decks and stuff. We paid him around 1200$ initially to buy the wood and other stuff. He then dumped wood , I am not even sure if it’s enough to built the deck. He disappeared for two weeks. then one day after texting and calling him numerous times sends a man to dig our backyard pretending that work is going to start soon. We paid extra 100 $ to that man who did the digging and cleaning the plants and stuff. It’s been more than a month, he disappeared completely. he hasn’t responding to our calls or txt or emails. Completely ruined our backyard . What should we do now? Any suggestion would be nice. I am attaching his business card so people can be aware how fraud and dishonest this person and his business is.

P.s - please recommend someone who can complete the job and is honest and reliable.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
