The ongoing fraudulent actions of Grant Norman King have only narrowly missed recruiting 733 members of a local community Facebook page to a fraud, a page which is run by Helensville locals Regan & Rachel Cunliffe:

The reaction to me by the Cunliffes, on my discovery of Grant King attempting to defraud what is in effect over 25% of the Helensville community in one hit, was somewhat hostile, yet the fact remains that somehow, GNK was able to convince the Cunliffe’s that he was simply a  harmless member of the Helensville community. This was evidenced by GNK being (temporarily) re-instated to the Helensville Community Facebook page by the Cunliffe’s, even when the evidence of the fraud he was trying to pull on the community was overwhelming.

The Cunliffes market themselves as internet website specialists – yet it seems that on this occasion, they both struggled to protect their own local community open Facebook page from fraud: one hopes that they will exercise a little more due diligence in the future.

One way for the Cunliffes to do this would be to ensure that GNK does not attempt another fraud attempt on their membership, via subscribing to the Helensville Community Facebook page under another identity.
