If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.

Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

- Check out these tips from Netsafe for how to help protect yourself from scams.
- Read about the different types of scams you could be caught out by including wangiri (one ring) and 'technical support' scams
- Find out how to report a phone scam here.

If you’re not sure if something is legitimate or genuine you can contact Netsafe free advice seven days a week on 0508 NETSAFE or visit netsafe.org.nz

Do you or any friends or family members have an exceptionally social and well-mannered animal? We’re currently looking for new SPCA Outreach Therapy Pet Volunteers.

We believe that pet therapy can help people in institutions where they may feel isolated and lonely. As a volunteer with the programme, you (and your pet!) will be bringing joy and comfort to people in rest homes, hospitals, and mental health wards.

Prior to being accepted into the programme, all animals undergo an assessment that measures their sociability, temperament, obedience and confidence. Unfortunately we are unable to accept animals that show signs of fearfulness or aggression. Animals are also required to undergo a Vet Health Check to ensure they are vaccinated, microchipped, desexed and in good health. Volunteers who are accepted will receive training and be placed at a facility they can continue to visit (typically weekly or fortnightly) on an ongoing basis.

If you and your animal are interested in volunteering with Outreach Therapy Pets please visit our website for more information and to apply.

Thank you for offering to share the joy your animal gives you with others.
