SCAM PHONE MESSAGE

James from Rangiora

Just found a recorded message on my answering machine. It claims to be from SPARK, saying there's a problem and they will disconnect my line within 24 hours, and that for further information I should press button 1. I'm really worried that I could be turned off even though I disconnected … View moreJust found a recorded message on my answering machine. It claims to be from SPARK, saying there's a problem and they will disconnect my line within 24 hours, and that for further information I should press button 1. I'm really worried that I could be turned off even though I disconnected from SPARK about 2 years ago... NOT. The scammers are still out there! I suspect that if someone follows the instruction they will be connected to a scammer via a high cost connection, so be aware folks and ignore, do NOT follow the instructions and just delete the message. I have advised SPARK that their name is being used in this way.

When North Canterbury's Jess Davidson started the Smile and Pod podcast a year ago, her aim was to inspire regular folk with stories from successful New Zealanders.

She began reminiscing about her grandfather, the stories he would tell her as a child, and more importantly how he would tell them – his humour and his turns of phrase.

After leaving her job in December, the former television and radio host started In My Own Words, a private recording service for people to leave their story for others to hear.

It could be recording a eulogy, a best man's speech, or a grandparent reading books to overseas grandchildren, and is especially pertinent in today’s Covid-19 travel-restricted world.
