People nationwide are receiving cold calls and are being persuaded to invest in 'Fine Art'.
Concerns around this include:
• How the commodity is being offered, such as how the cold callers persuade victims to part with their money.
• Hidden costs charged to the victims to view the product, shipping costs or additional fees to store the item.
How to protect yourself:
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 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…”
