Hi everybody, my family and I have been up here for 4 years now, loving every minute of it, especially the summer - exploring the fresh water streams and swimming holes.

We have provided Aucklanders with fresh fruit and vege delivery boxes for 27 years. We have always supported local growers, but due to, firstly covid, then the floodings, several long-standing growers are no longer operating.

I'm doing a shout-out for any growers out there, particularly citris, apple, pear, celery, leaks, Mushroom, lettuces, cabbages, tomatoes in the summer... to please make contact.

Thank you very much and I hope everyone is staying warm and cozy tonight.

Fake Police scam: UK national arrested after nearly $300k lost

The Team from New Zealand Police

A Police investigation has turned the heat up on a cold-calling scammer claiming to be an officer.

A Police investigation has turned the heat up on a cold-calling scammer claiming to be an officer.

Police recently shared about the scam in which victims receive a call to their landline phone, by someone pretending to be a Police officer and providing a fake badge number.

In recent weeks, 18 Aucklanders have allegedly been duped out of more than a quarter of a million dollars.

Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton, from Auckland City’s Financial Crime Unit, says victims are told a story about needing their assistance with an investigation.

“The scam will always involve this so-called officer asking for financial information or asking you to withdraw cash to be collected as part of an investigation into banks,” he says.

On Monday, real Police officers caught up with the scammer following a foot chase through central Auckland.

Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says a 25-year-old UK national was taken into custody.

Today, he will face the Auckland District Court on 22 charges of obtains by deception, attempting to obtain by deception and escaping custody.

Police will be opposing his bail.

“We will allege in court that this man, who only arrived in New Zealand in early June, was on his way at the time to collect more cash from a previous victim,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says.

“Instead, real detectives turned up at the victim’s doorstep to advise him he was about to be scammed out of $20,000 in cash.

“Financial Crime investigators from all three policing districts' fraud teams in Tāmaki Makaurau have been working together to piece together this offending, and this is a great outcome.”

Aucklanders who fell victim of the scam were aged between 56 and 90, with the majority over 80.

“This man’s alleged actions betrayed the good-will of vulnerable and elderly members of our community,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says.

The offender has victims from right across Auckland, with a total of $297,700 in cash lost.

Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says enquiries are ongoing, and Police will work to recover as much of the cash as possible.

Please remember:
- Police will never call to ask you for bank details, pin numbers or passwords
- Police do not offer prize money
- Police will not ask you to go to a bank to withdraw money
- If you receive a call out of the blue of a similar nature: challenge the caller to identify themselves, ask for their details.
- Hang up, contact 105 to verify the ID and request the officer to contact you
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

It was such a pleasure to work with you, thank you Steve and Lynda 😊
"Positive and professional every step of the way, Nicky was a pleasure to deal with. Nicky recently sold our property in Kaukapakapa. There were comments from various people that the property had been on the market for quite some time, however, what those folks didn't realise was that Nicky had a contract in place within a few weeks of our property being on the market - but unfortunately the buyers were unable to sell their property to proceed. Nicky persevered and continued showing our home and managed to get another couple of potential buyers waiting in the wings. Over the next few weeks Nicky worked closely with the (eventual) buyer, with a lot of back and forth communication and she got us to a place where we were all satisfied with the outcome. We have been extremely happy with Nicky's professionalism, knowledge of the local real estate market and her positivity - she was always available to answer any questions we had and to offer advice. We couldn't recommend Nicky highly enough!"
