Crime: 9 August 2011 As there has been virtually no crime across the area in the last 24 hours, I am taking this opportunity to send a joint message. This will show you where the little crime we are suffering is taking place which might emphasise the need to report everything to us. So often we hear about suspicious vans / cars / people in an area after a crime has taken place when we are doing house to house enquiries. We need to know BEFORE THE CRIME HAS TAKEN PLACE. One of our members sent me a newsletter from Wiltshire the relevant page is attached they seem to have this problem too !!!

CLEWER EAST & PARK: I have received this from our Allotment Watch: I went to our allotment at Asher, Hatchet Lanebehind the British Legion this afternoon and found our shed broken into. A Ryobi petrol strimmer has been stolen but other manual tools untouched. A fellow allotmenteer told me that several sheds had broken into and a petrol rotovator and a lawn mower and some tools stowed in a top of the range fishing seat/box, had also gone. There may well be other stuff as well. The last time we visited our allotment was 01Aug2011- so I don't know when this happened. I called TVP - they were unaware of any break-ins at this site. I have tried to get the others to report their loss, but have only been able to speak directly to one of them.

BT Scam: This has been reported to me by one of our members I received
a call from a 'representative' of BT, informing me that he was
disconnecting me because of an unpaid bill. The
guy wasn't even fazed when I told him I was with Virgin Media, allegedly
VM have to pay BT a percentage for line rental! Obviously
the fellow realized I didn't believe his story, so offered to demonstrate
that he was from BT. I asked how & he told me to hang up & My phone was dead - no engaged tone, nothing - until he phoned me again. Very
pleased with himself, he asked if that was enough proof that he was with
BT. I asked how the payment was to be made & he said
credit card, there & then. I said that I didn't know how
he'd done it, but I had absolutely no intention of paying him, I didn't
believe his name or that he worked for BT. He
hung up. When you
stop trying he cuts off and immediately calls back. You could almost
be convinced!
The next one is a little unusual, but we do get it from time to time. It is in fact a virus that infects someones computer. It then directs this email to be sent to everyone in the personal address book. It is often quite distressing to receive these as you may well know the names the virus uses: 'Hope
you get this on time, I made a trip to Aberdeen, Scotlandand had my bag
stolen from me with my passport and credit cards in it. The embassy is
willing to help by letting me fly without my passport, I just have to pay
for a ticket and settle Hotel bills. Unfortunately for me, I can't have
access to funds without my credit card, I've made contact with my bank but
they need more time to come up with a new one. I was thinking of asking
you to lend me some quick funds that I can give back as soon as I get in.
I really need to be on the next available flight'.
