My industry that I work in has it's ups and downs but when you get to be involved in seeing a story like this unfold, you realise that you get to be a part of some amazing life changing stories that make you proud to be in the industry. This one takes the biscuit!

Imagine being in the situation of this couple during the cyclone. You can read their story in the link below.

www.nzherald.co.nz...

I was selling a home in Havelock North last month and my colleague Gavin approached me about the couple in the article who were interested in this property and had basically escaped the cyclone damaged home of theirs with the clothes on their back. My Vendors heard their story and commented that it was their turn to help a victim of the cyclone. So they sold them the house and gifted nearly everything in it, right down to the beds and washing machine, knives and forks!

There are some amazing people in our community and seeing the joy of both these couples, the givers and the receivers, well for me this is real community spirit.

Beware of this email scam

The Team from New Zealand Police

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

An email scam has re-emerged that references Police and other justice sector partners.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer locating explicit illegal material, and that a reply is needed within 48 hours or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.

This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances. Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond. Police have received several reports of this scam and enquiries are underway.

It’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.
Anyone who received this email scam is asked to send it as an attachment in an email to the Police Cybercrime Team: cybercrime@police.govt.nz

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails.
- Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
- Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection website.
- Netsafe can also provide some helpful advice about keeping safe online.
