Pokeman Go “App” has arrived in the UK
Mobile phone fixed in hand, moving quickly from landmark to landmark and cheering spontaneously in the street.
Millions of people are joining the new phenomenon – Pokemon Go – which is sweeping through the country after its launch this week.
People are crowding round prominent buildings in their communities, eager to catch the fictional creatures from the cult cartoon and video game series.
The aim of the game is to capture, battle, and train virtual Pokémon who appear throughout the real world via the device’s GPS system and camera. It uses the location of the player’s phone/device to pin-point where the nearest checkpoints (called PokéStops) and animated Pokémon characters are.
The player can then follow the game on their phone/device, whilst walking in the real world, to try and catch them all.
Pokémon have so far appeared in a variety of locations across the region, though the game has only just been officially released in the UK this week.
Supermarkets, restaurants, gardens and parks have unwittingly found themselves included in the online game, which sees random venues across the UK become the ‘home’ of animated Pokémon characters for players to collect.
This craze is going to grow with more and more people getting addicted to the game particularly children.

Action Fraud (Action Fraud, Administrator, National) |
Inheritance fraud usually occurs when you are told that someone very rich has died and you are in line to receive a huge inheritance. A fraudster who claims to be a Business Relations Manager from an overseas bank or legal official contacts you through email or a letter stating that a person sharing your family name has died and left behind a vast amount of money. The fraudster suggests that as you share the same family name as the deceased, you can be the beneficiary of the estate and rather than handing any ‘Inheritance Tax’ over to the government you can split the inheritance with the fraudster.
The fraudster will emphasise the need for secrecy and warn you not to tell anyone else about the deal. To hurry you into making a hasty decision, they will also stress the need to act quickly.
If you respond to the fraudster, they will ask you to pay various fees – for example: taxes, legal fees, banking fees etc. – so they can release your non-existent inheritance. Each time you make a payment, the fraudsters will come up with a reason why the inheritance cannot be paid out unless you make another payment. If you ask, they will also give you reasons why the fees cannot be taken from your inheritance and have to be paid up front.
If you become reluctant to pay a fee or suggest you cannot afford it, the fraudsters will put pressure on you by reminding you how close you are to receiving a sum of money much greater than the fees you’ve already handed over, and of how much you’ve already paid out. The fraudsters may also ask for your bank details so they can pay the inheritance directly into your bank account. If you hand over your bank details, the fraudsters can use them to empty your account.
You could be a victim of inheritance fraud if:

We have been to the Battlefields – first and second World War - in Northern France and Belgium many times over the past fifty years but our last visit at the end of June 2006 was of special significance.
Ninety years since the start of the Battle of the Somme but more personally ninety years since the fall of Hazel’s Uncle Burt in those terrible times.
James Burton Lewis volunteered in 1914 and joined the Kings Regiment at Sefton Park where “it was just like scout camp and it’ll soon be over” but soon he was in France. We are fortunate that his letters home have been carefully preserved; have been transcribed and copies are with the Imperial War Museum. His description of the conditions in the Trenches defies believe, the mud, the cold, the hunger, the rats, inhumane conditions. Another recurring theme “Leave has been stopped again” .He writes longingly of home – How is the harvest doing? How much is father getting for potatoes?
