Friday 8.25 p.m. Clare
Road. Burglary.
The son of the owner returned home and saw the lights on.
He thought nothing of it, believing his parents were at home.
He could not get in, but heard voices inside.
He then saw 2 men making off from the back of the property fence
hopping. They then came out
of a neighbour’s side gate into a waiting old car and made off.
We have a description of one of the possibly 3 – 5 men.
White, possibly middle European, 6’, Athletic build wearing a
white hoody. Laptop, Gold
jewellery and cash stolen. 22/3

Noon. Shoppenhangers
Road. A member of the
public withdrew cash from a cash till, but walked off leaving the money
behind. A few minutes later
when they remembered, they returned, but the money was gone.
This is really just a reminder.
Many people think that if you do not remove the cash, it is
automatically withdrawn back into the ATM.
That is sometimes the case – but not always.
Some cash machines do – others do not.
This was one of those cases of – ‘the ATM did not’ ! 22/3
Friday 8 p.m. / 9.50 p.m. Public
Car Park, High Street, Bray. Car
broken into Handbag and contents stolen from the boot MEMBERS
COMMENTS: PHONE
SCAMS: I
received an automated (recorded message) call from 01274 572953 saying
they had identified a pensions sum which I could claim. I declined the
offer to press 5 or 9 etc and put the phone down. A Google search on the
number (which is Bradford) shows that they have been annoying people for
several years and are listed on several nuisance call websites. Out of
interest I wonder who funds these websites? On
the subject of the Windows scam
a friend of mine came up with a useful time-waster – you say ‘Oh, yes
I have about 15 windows – downstairs, upstairs, some double glazed ....
etc – this tends to baffle the caller and with luck you can talk rubbish
to them for several minutes before they ring off! Tony I
LIKE THIS ONE ! MORE
ON THIS SCAM: Hi
Jeff, I
had a call yesterday. They
are far more insistent and aggressive now. He
said he would tell me my serial number of my computer and I could tell
him, it's right or not. I
said I knew this was a scam, as I work for Microsoft - he asked what
designation was I !? I
said it was nothing to do with him, but in my position, I was well aware
that Microsoft don't do this. He
continued to argue and I eventually, put phone down
!! He wasn't backing
down. Once again, I thought
how awful it would be, if you were vulnerable or inexperienced and trusted
them. I
didn't log into my computer (I did consider following to see what would
happen) but I was suddenly afraid they might have a way to invade it, as I
am on wifi / broadband. So my computer and phone are linked Can
they do this? Sherry Hi
Sherry, No,
it is not possible. What he
knows, is that you cannot get to the serial number of your computer, as it
is usually underneath - if you knew where it was anyway !
They will have all sorts of answers pre-prepared, as they will have
been dismissed so often. It
is merely a scam and they can do nothing to get at, or attack your
computer. It is just a
scammer on a phone. ANGELA
HAS THIS SUGGESTION: Hi
everyone, HOW
ABOUT THIS ONE ! Hi
Jeff, I
have had quite a number of the 'Windows' scam phone calls and have found
the following very effective:
Tony I got this late on Friday afternoon, sitting alone in the office and roared with laughter !
