Watch out for SCAMS
Neighbourly is aware that online safety is front of mind for members, and scams are getting more tricky to spot. So we thought we'd share some tips from Netsafe to keep you informed about what to avoid and where to get help.
Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.
What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.
You can check if it's a scam by contacting |Netsafe|:
- Toll-free on 0508 NETSAFE (0508 638 723) or +6496660840 if calling from outside New Zealand
- Emailing help@netsafe.org.nz
If you're pretty sure it's a scam, make a report at netsafe.org.nz
Remember Neighbourly is a free service for neighbours so we won't ask you for money or for your password. All emails will come from noreply@neighbourly.co.nz - so feel free to get in touch if you're unsure of something!
Hope this helps you, neighbours!

Seeking house sitting with a cat
Hi, I'm interested to house sit for anyone around Remuera or nearby suburbs over the holiday weeks. 🎄🎁
I have a cat I'd like to spend time with as I'm not allowed to have him where I live currently.
My cat minder is going overseas for three weeks from 22 December 2024.
I'm honest, respectful of others privacy and property. I'm very clean and tidy and I will happily do jobs like basic garden work while you're away to keep busy. 🙂
I'm keeping options open reaching out on Neighbourly as well as signing up on a house sitting website.
If you or you know of anyone who's looking for a house sitter please feel free to contact me on the below.
WhatsApp or mobile: 0212925444.
