❗ALERT: FRAUDULENT PHONE CALLS❗
We’re aware of fraudulent phone calls being made around New Zealand, from one or multiple people pretending to be SPCA staff and/or veterinarians.
The caller appears to be targeting pet owners who have lost their animals, stating that the animals are being held by them, and that payment in the hundreds of dollars (to be paid over the phone) is required to retrieve them.
These callers are not affiliated with SPCA. If your animal is found by SPCA, we will never request payment in this way.
If you receive a call like this, we urge you not to provide any payment over the phone and report the call to Netsafe.
You can find information about how to do so here.
Please be sure to share this message with your friends and whānau that have pets.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Clifford Jose, legal counsel to the late Mr. Robert Fitzpatrick, an American consultant formerly with Shell UK Ltd in London. Tragically, Mr. Fitzpatrick passed away in the EgyptAir Flight 990 crash on October 31, 1999.
Despite exhaustive efforts, we have been unable to locate any next of kin or ascertain the existence of a valid will. Consequently, I am reaching out to seek your assistance in this matter.
Please find attached further details for your review.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Barrister Clifford Jose
