Scam
I have just received a phone call from "Visa Security" telling me I had 2 overseas transactions on my credit card, 1 x $800 Amazon and 1 x $1000 on I-tunes. Extremely believable call , gave me his name and ID number, sounded very official. Said there was 2 overseas IP addresses had access to my desk top, and to go into my computer so he could remove them. I asked him for a number to call him back on, he gave me an Auckland number. I rang Westpac bank instead, they said it was a scam and my card hadn't been compromised. Very official sounding call tho, so if you get this call know that it is a scam.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
