Crime: 18 May 2012

 

I have had several enquiries about reporting crime online.  You can do this and this is the link:

 

https://reportonline.thamesvalley.police.uk/

 

I have attached a printout of the page so that you can familiarise yourself with the information that will be required, before you consider this option.  The page will not look exactly the same because I have lost the formatting.

 

The simplest method is of course to dial 999 or phone the PEC on 101.

MEMBERS COMMENTS:

The gauntlet has been thrown down !

Hi Jeff,

First time communicator !

I have enjoyed all your readers “Tips”, to make us all safer from those who wish to do us wrong and have just heard of a friend of mine, whose son fell for the following scam and I would like your and your members advice as to how this should have been handled.

 

He placed his motorcycle for sale on e-bay and was contacted yesterday, by a potential buyer over phone.

 

The number of the potential “buyer” was withheld, but my friend’s son gave the address, so the purchaser could view the bike the next day.

 

Overnight – the bike was stolen.

 

The police estimate the theft took place at some time between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. .  Not only was the motor bike stolen, but also his father’s carpentry tools and fishing rods which also kept in the back shed.

 

My question to you Jeff, is how does one protect against a similar scam in the future ?

 

Obviously be wary giving any info out to “number withheld” calls.... but for genuine buyers of your goods, what questions should you ask ?

 

I throw it open to you, everyone out there and your great team of crime fighters, in the hope that we may be able to educate people to be aware that not all e-bay callers, are what they seem!

 

With very best wishes and keep up the good work,

Peter.

 

P.S.The crime was committed in Virginia Water Wednesday night   

 

My advice as always – never give personal information over the phone.  If you have to show an item – choose a public place – a car park etc.  Never hand the keys / vehicle over to a stranger for a test drive.  Always go with them.  Do not fall for the old scam where you drive the car somewhere for a test drive, with the purchaser in the passenger seat.  Remember the Insurance issues / implications of an uninsured stranger driving your vehicle !  The purchaser then asks to drive.  You stop and get out, to go round to the passenger side, leaving the keys in the ignition ……………..You know the rest !!!
