Please see the following from Phil Brandreth, Police Community Support Officer:
“A Kingsley resident has got into contact with PCSO Phil Brandreth and would like residents to be aware that they were victim to an attempted fraud which they have reported to their bank and action fraud. The company called up the residents claiming to be ‘Talk Talk’ and stated that there were software problems and they would like to reimburse the resident and compensate them. The company kept the resident on the phone for over an hour. They require bank account details over the phone to proceed with the call and compensation. If you have any calls like this please report it as soon as possible.”
Hope this is ok
Many thanks

Message sent by Jennifer van Deursen (Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, PCC Office, Cheshire PCC)
Today, Police & Crime Commissioner John Dwyer is launching his ‘Have Your Say’ Survey to find out about how the people of Cheshire feel about the service from the police and where their priorities should be.
Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, John Dwyer said: “The Constabulary has launched its public service commitments to be there whenever and wherever they’re needed. I hold the Chief Constable to account and need to know what the public think about policing. The results of the survey will be used to inform my next Police & Crime Plan.
“I will also be asking what people would be prepared to pay for policing to help inform my thinking about next year’s police budget.
“I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to fill in the survey.”

Action Fraud and the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) have been made aware that there are currently a number of emails being sent out that appear to be coming from Apple iTunes, detailing a recent purchase.
The email states that if customers did not purchase the item they should click on the link provided to obtain a refund. Once redirected to a web page they are asked to fill out their card and other personal details. This is a spam email with links to a malicious web page that is being used to harvest personal details, possibly in order to access victim’s bank accounts.
Protect yourself:
• Double check where the email has come from before clicking on the link
• Check your iTunes account for recent activity
• Consider contacting iTunes separately to double check your account activity
• Remember iTunes will not request your personal details via email or through attached links
• If you have filled in one of the forms, do not use online banking until you have had your computer checked out by an expert. Also consider contacting your bank to make them aware of the situation – money held in your account may be at risk.

Message from Inspector Keith Curbishley
Spring has definitely arrived and many people are spending time tidying their gardens up, which inevitably means opening sheds and garages and dusting off various forms of equipment. In doing so, please be mindful that criminals will use this opportunity to view what you have stored in your garage, whilst the door is open, or even seize the opportunity to take unattended equipment or sneak into a house whilst the occupant is busy in the garden. Please enjoy the nice weather, but do not make yourself vulnerable to becoming a victim of crime.
I would also like to reinforce the message about not being tempted to get behind the wheel of your car after you have enjoyed a drink. The warmer evenings and increasing number of events which are held during the summer months may tempt people to have ‘just one more’ drink with friends. Such a decision could violently end a great many friendships in an instant! Please support any friends or family who may be a ‘nominated driver’ and challenge anyone who you hear saying to a friend “You’ll be alright with just one…”

Message from Inspector Keith Curbishley
It is amazing how much the nature of policing has changed even during the span of my own service. Improved technology and regulation has greatly reduced many of the crimes that were prevalent only a few years ago – for example thefts of vehicles and of mobile phones, both of which have become far more difficult and less profitable to the offenders. However, changes in society have brought other offences to the forefront. Last month, I talked about Child Sexual exploitation which is now widely recognised. Domestic abuse has also become less tolerated – all reports are taken seriously which means that far more victims are willing to come forward. Drug crime and the associated mental health issues and violence offences are also more prominent and having an increasing impact on public services.
Whilst is will always be necessary for people to remain vigilant against opportunistic theft, people can utilize technology themselves to protect their own property and families. It is also necessary to remain vigilant to learn what new emerging threats and crime trends are coming to the fore. If you have not already done so, please register with Cheshire Alert, to receive up to date information and advice.
