overseas and other unwanted cellphone calls
We have received several overseas calls that indicate they are from (Australia) when we answered one of these call a male speaking with a heavy ethnic dialogue of that possibility from the Phillipines tried to sell something. Would not take NO for an answer.
We have started blocking these calls.
If in doubt don’t answer if it is important they will leave a number you should google any messages to see if the company and contact details are legitimate if not suggest you block these calls.
Never call back as there is a charge associated with this.
Any calls you get from your service providers you have not initiated yourself HANG UP.
Contact any company directly and discuss what took place.
We turn our land line volume off and use answering machine to check legitimate messages.
We hope you find this information useful.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
