SEEKING SUPPORT FOR OUR CAMPAIGN TO PARLIAMENT - Public awareness

Kia ora everyone - hope your evenings going well.

On behalf of myself and my family, we are seeking support from you all towards our petition to parliament to: Seek harsher penalties to drivers who cause bodily harm or death to pedestrians on our roads.

This has come to light due to one of our beloved family members who died due to them recieving severe injuries in which they died on the way to hospital back in July being hit by a car on Te atatu road, Henderson end (West Auckland). As we are all coming to terms about this, our campaign is to highlight to such services, outlets who manage our roads to have our roads more safer - towards installing CCTV, speed bumps, speed limit signage in and around that road, and more lighting. But to also educate all road users towards being mindful on those who use the roads both on the roads and on foot too.

Such services we have been intouch with have been Auckland's Mayor Phil Goff, Auckland Transport towards their proposal to our government in their May proposal for $700m for upgrade towards Aucklands 'safer action project' and sending our petition towards parliament and connecting with our current Minister of Transport; Mr Phil Twyford in our concerns, petition and campaign cause to parliament in possible changing the current NZ Traffic law regulations.

As no one should ever go through anyone that they dearly love to die on such unforeseen events this petition is to highlilght more emphasis towards our current traffic law regulations which is quite vague when it comes to giving justice for victims and their surviving families.

We will also be out in the community in the upcoming weeks and in 2019 in speaking with the public about our campaign and hope to see you all there in shedding light towards our cause as well as those who can't talk for themselves who are not here anymore.

Should you like to take part in our campaign or like to know more towards our cause please PM our page.

Special mention to: Western Leader - Hannah Ross, The NZ Herald - Vaimoana Tapaleao, www.stuff.co.nz... online team, our family, friends and volunteers who are now onboard - thank you!! #Watchthisspace!! #RIPSemoneva4get #BillofrightsAct #HumanrightsAct #Questioneverything!! #Justice4AuntyPepe XOX

Fuchsia plug plants (fully rooted cuttings, up to 1y old, several varieties)

I have a little over 100 fully rooted young plants that I produced in the process of perfecting the skill of propagation. They were taken from mother plants that are between 2 and 5 years old.
In the images you can see they are in various stages of growth, but are all healthy and strong. A few even have flowers already. They were rooted in the first class seedmix soil, properly fertilised and kept well watered. The flowers in the pictures are the examples from mother plants.
I have a varied number of plants from the following varieties:
Pacquesa, Southern Temptation, Gillian Althea, Eusebia, Nancy Lou, Devonshire Dumpling, Bealings, Voodoo, La Campanella, Golden Anniversary, Rohee's New Millenium, Cath Weir (only one or two), Tom West (only one or two) and Princess Kaja (only one or two).

Fuchsias are beautiful and lush plants with exquisitely intricate flowers in various colors, and in this climate, they produce flowers throughout the year with a couple of short rest breaks. They like shade to semi-shade and will tolerate NZ (especially Auckland) winter unless they are left in the middle of the open lawn when it is really cold.
Provided you prune them well every winter (preferably late winter), they are able to come back year after year for a long time to make that spot of theirs full of colour and beauty.

Please, note the price listed is for ONE individual plant. If you are interested to take 10 or more, please ask to discuss the price. If you by any chance want them all, I would certainly consider the offer.

Plants need to be collected from me, so please call to arrange, or alternatively ask me any question here, on Neighbourly.

Roland (021-1151901) If I don't pick up, I may be working, so please do leave a message and I will definitely get back to you. Thank you for your time.

ANOTHER PHONE SCAM ALERT! PHONE SCAM ALERT!

Matt from Henderson

Hi everyone. Matt here. There has just been another phone scam that just happened at our house today (Saturday 17 November).

Matt here. There has just been another phone scam that just happened at our house today (Saturday 17 November). There was a man (my mum got the phone, not me), claiming that he was from Spark saying that our own WIFI Broadband was getting hacked into. Apparently thank goodness my mum did not give the person any other details apart from this info. Her laptop is a school laptop and runs Mac software not Windows. Anyways, the person on the phone was saying that she needed to go to Teamviewer, (a typical scammers way for them to access your computer) and type in a password for them to access my mum's laptop (well her school's laptop). She didn't know that password, thank goodness for that.

Apparently the person is going to ring back here on Tuesday at 5.30pm at our house.

I had told my mum that this person claiming to be a Spark caller or technician is a scammer. Spark (previously Telecom) or any other company would not ring you saying that your WIFI broadband is getting hacked into or wanting to access your computer.

So she rung up Spark the local Auckland number to see if they had rung our house and to see if our WIFI broadband was getting hacked into or if it was another scammer.

She also looked at the Spark Website. She did read that Spark would not provide credit card or passwords

This is what the Spark website says. I'll give you both the link and the info underlined.

www.spark.co.nz...

Phone Scams

There are many different types of phone scams. There are a range of strategies a scammer uses to trick the person, including number spoofing. This is where a scammer disguises the original caller ID with a number they choose. For example, a call may look like it's from a local NZ number but is actually coming from overseas.

You can see a list of verified phone scams on the current scams page. See current scams

Characteristics of a phone scam

It’s a cold call you weren’t expecting. The caller claims they've identified a problem in your modem or computer. Or that your WiFi has been hacked or is running slow due to a recent Fibre install or virus. They offer to help by taking control of your computer through Team Viewer.
Note: Spark does not call customers unexpectedly to say they have a virus on their computer or modem
If the person is suspicious, they often provide a New Zealand number for the person to call back on. This number belongs to the scammers and they answer the call "Hello, Spark help desk".
The scammer claims to be from Spark’s help desk and offer their Spark staff number to prove they are an employee. They even offer to give you details of their manager to call.
They may know your full name, address and birthday. They can find this information through research online or buy it on the black market. You shouldn't assume they're legitimate for knowing these details.
The scammers call from an international call centre with a large number of staff. Scam calls are often very noisy in the background.

This is a so called scam like those Microsoft scammers who call you to want to fix your computer and bank scammers as well. Mind you our house has not had any of these but I personally get a lot of the "phishing" emails on my other email. "Phishing" email are just basically emails for example if any of you get these, this is just for example:

Subject: ASB Bank

Were waiting for you bank account to be activated. Please the link below to this. Obviously you click the link in the email.

I don't a link, but giving this one just as an example of what you people might get in any of your emails.

If you do click on a link that the so called email does provide, it will just end up taking you to the real bank website whatever bank you are with.

If any of you do receive any bank emails like this just delete these.

I hope that whoever reads this will get more understanding with scammers.
