SCAMS:
I have received this – be on your guard:
Jeffrey,...yesterday I was contacted by phone by someone purporting to be from the Ministry of Justice. She told me that I was due a payment of £9,640. She gave me a telephone number. Then the phone died. I called the number.  it was answered 'Ministry of Justice', I asked for their address, and was given 102, Petty France. I then asked to be put through to the person who called, which they did. She stated that the phone had gone dead and that she would phone me right back. She phoned me back within 2 minutes and told me that for security reasons, I should write down the File Number 1147. She knew my name, address, my wife's name and that I had a bank account with a specific High Street Bank ! Would I like the money to be credited to this bank account today ? If so, she needed my bank details (!!!!!!!!) She asked for the sort code of my bank.

I told her that I never give out my bank details over the phone, and that if she would write to me, I would complete the details and return them to her. She said that it had to be accomplished today, otherwise I would not be able to receive the money. I declined her offer !!

I have passed the above details to Consumer Direct on the recommendation of Trading Standards at RBWM.

Hope this information is of some use to you.

Kind regards,
Stan

NEXT FROM THE AMBULANCE SERVICE:
Dear member

South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) is launching a campaign this Thursday in a bid to stop people calling 999 for non-life threatening reasons. With the service receiving 1,235 hoax calls and many more inappropriate calls from January 2011 to October 2011, this is an increasing problem that is putting people’s lives at risk.

In a concerted effort to address this issue, SCAS is headlining the campaign with a hard-hitting video shot in the style of a movie trailer, which showcases interviews with paramedics, real life emergencies and re-enactments of inappropriate calls and the impact they have. The video will be available to view on www.999southcentral.co.uk from this Thursday as well as on YouTube. Please promote the campaign and post this link on your websites, intranets and newsletters, as well as sharing it with your family and friends.

The video will be supported by extensive PR activity and to date interviews have been undertaken/are scheduled with a range of national, local and industry specific media, including ITV Meridian, BBC Oxford, Berkshire and Solent, The Sun, The Portsmouth News and The Journal of Paramedic Practice.

The campaign also comprises a number of educational case study films which will be used to target and engage schools, care homes and GPS to help raise awareness of this increasing problem and encourage appropriate use of the service.

For further information on the campaign, please contact Gill Hodgetts, Head of Communications and Public Relations, SCAS (tel: 01869 365097, email: gillian.hodgetts@scas.nhs.uk).
