Fuel prices.

Neil from Nelson South

AA membership qualifies a member to fuel discounts when purchases are made at certain businesses.
Unfortunately BP is the only fuel supplier. BP is consistently 29cents dearer than NPD.
Beware, a 10cents a litre discount with your AA card is not a good deal.😥😥😥

NZTA licence renewal scam circulating

A new email scam impersonating the NZTA is being sent around telling vehicle owners their licences are due.

The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.

CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).

How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website

Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.

I have been looking after him for about 4 months now and no-one here has $1500 to help our village cat. Do you have any spare money that you could donate to help our cat? Please call the Franklyn village office on 035466039 or Louise on 0276025945 or email info@franklynvillage.co.nz, any funding can go straight into the Franklyn village account rather than anyone's personal account. Please help us to help him, whilst he is still hungry and still eats soft food and biscuits, he doesn't chew his food very much, just swallows it and I am concerned he could be in pain. I have tried to get a loan but couldn't get one.

I know this is old technology but I also know there are a lot of cassette viewers still out there.

Maybe make some wearable art… View moreI know this is old technology but I also know there are a lot of cassette viewers still out there.
