30/5  Friday 2.40 p.m.  Gardner Road.  The police received a call from a bank to say that an elderly client was inside asking to withdraw money from their account.  They had been accompanied by 2 men who were waiting outside.  They suspected bogus builders.  The police attended immediately.  Apparently a white man had knocked at their door, saying he was ‘from the Council’  He had carried out work on her roof and now need to be paid £800 for the work now, the Council would refund this amount in three days.  The aggrieved went upstairs to get some cash aand handed him £180, saying that was all she had, but she could get more from the bank.  He and another man had then driven the aggrieved to the bank in a light coloured car.  Once inside the bank, she had asked to withdraw £900 and the staff became suspicious and called the police.  During House to House enquiries a neighbour did remember seeing a man, in his thirties, wearing denim jeans and a baseball cap carrying a clipboard.  Our grateful thanks to that observant and caring member of staff.

CHARITY COLLECTORS:
 
Hi Jeff
I subscribe to TV Alert & have read in previous reports about doorstep charity collectors pressurizing one to sign up at the door.
 
A few minutes ago we were visited by two guys representing the Anthony Nolan Trust. Both wore ID badges & one spoke about the charity's work for about 2-3 minutes without drawing breath.  When he finally finished, I said something like 'I expect you want me to sign up & give my credit card details'  He said 'not your credit card details, your debit card'.
 
I then asked for paperwork from them, so I could think about it. He was reluctant to give it to me & said I could check it up on the charity's website, but donating on-line meant the charity only received 75% of my donation.  By signing up at the door they received 100%.  I said I don't sign over my details at the door & sent them on their way.
