Crime: 18 August 2010

Some messages for you.

I sent out a message from Greg Williams and his team at Trading Standards recently, but it seems you are still receiving loads – a common one is the Inland Revenue saying you are due a refund – if you supply them with your bank details !
Another which is just as sinister – you get a call from your bank to say someone has been trying to access your account and as a result of too many failed password attempts, the account is now locked. To restore the account please go to and they give you a link. I have been copied in on the link – this one HSBC and it looks perfectly genuine – it is not of course.

Remain alert !

Jenny my Volunteer has been in all afternoon posting out Bike Marking kits to everyone we had left on the list. If you have not received yours by the end of the week drop me an email:
