Awful Spam Phone Calls

Russell from Paraparaumu

I got a pretty disturbing phone call yesterday from someone spouting filth at me in a strong Eastern European accent. It was from an 021 number. This morning I got another suspected one, but from an 027 number, but didn't answer and blocked both.

Anyone else?

Our homes can be our greatest investment and protecting our homes against climate change has become more important than ever.

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.

Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

I now put a little on my finger and coat the lenses inside and out, polish them and it works, if you try it don't use to much, hope this helps
