Scammers at it again - phone calls about putative Visa charges

Peter from Kamo

Last couple of days I received 3 calls from 2 different computer generated voices "This is Visa calling, this morning blah blah blah 2 transactions (mentions Amazon $800 and Apple itunes $1000) by which time I hang up.
After the first time I got my phone to look at my visa status and there were no such charges. Of course. I am sure if they really did call me (and it would be the bank, not some generic 'Visa'), it would not be a computer voice, but someone who could actually intelligently discuss the matter.
Anyway, consider yourselves warned. They are apparently very busy/active with their little scheme if my 3 attempts are any thing to go by.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
