🐕Missing elderly dog🐕
***ELDERLY & TIMID***
MISSING - DOG - (PAKOWHAI, HASTINGS) HAWKES BAY
17.11.22- Posting on behalf of owner. Maggie is still missing as of 9.30am Thursday, 17th November. Maggie is 12 years old and is lost. She is a wire haired, white and tan, Jack Russell and was wearing a collar. She was scared off at the Pakowhai Dog Park on Wednesday 16 November at 11:30 am. Maggie took off and there were several possible sightings of her mentioned on fb seen in and around the Whakatu Industrial Park area (especially on Johnson Way) around 1:30 pm (This area is where the old Whakatu Freezing Works once was.) This area is east / Havelock side of the dog park.
Maggies owner Chris, is an older lady and is naturally very worried. Chris has had Maggie for 12 years. She is not on Facebook and doesnt use social media. She really doesnt know what to do. 💕 So if you are able to help please by sharing this post on ANY PAGE that would be appreciated. And post on your fb page as there are many many businesses in the Whakatu Industrial Park with lots of employees who could keep an eye out. Maggie could be in Clive, Hastings or hiding out in the Whakatu area still or even around the dog park. She will be timid and afraid as she has never left her owners side until today. Is anybody is willing to please assist her owner Chris by making up a flyer asap and printing copies that she and others willing could be delivered all around the Whakatu area and dog park? If so please PM me.
Thank you for any help, sharing this post and offering advice.
Please phone Chris
0274389679 if you see her as she is timid and unlikely to come or message www.facebook.com...

Facebook Marketplace Scams
Police are urging members of the public to be aware of Facebook Marketplace scams, in particular tiny home, shipping container and portable cabin home scams targeting Hawke’s Bay and the Eastern Police District.
Multiple people have seen the different listings and either paid deposits or the full price into various bank accounts.
Once the victim transfers money, the scammer deletes the listing, all the messages and blocks them.
In one case a victim has lost $10,000, with further victims losing in the thousands.
In many of these cases the offenders are based overseas and our ability to recover the funds transferred is limited.
“We are urging members of the community to think twice before transferring money for items on Facebook and other social media platforms.” says Senior Constable Gillon.
Anyone who has been affected by this scam is encouraged to contact Police online or via 105.
Senior Constable Gillon says if you decide to purchase off social media, we encourage you to take precautions to protect yourself.
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀:
💸 Insist on meeting to conduct transactions and examine the item before completing the transaction.
💸 Meet in a public place and take a friend. DO NOT go into someone’s house or allow them into yours.
💸 DO NOT deposit money into another person’s account before you have received the item.
💸 Learning more about the person you are buying from or selling to.
💸 You can tap on a person's profile on the product listing page to see if you have any friends in common, their marketplace activity, and any ratings they may have received.
💸 Ensure friends and family, especially anyone vulnerable, understand what to do to protect themselves.
💸 Be the person to provide that ongoing support and advice.
💸 Trust your instincts – if it’s too good to be true or sounds like a scam, it probably is.
If you believe you are or have been a victim of fraud, contact Police at www.police.govt.nz..., or call Police on 105 and report the matter. If you have handed over your bank details, contact your bank and immediately suspend your account.
