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.
How To Avoid Being A Victim Of Online Auction Scams? 05/03/2015
| Message sent by |
| Action Fraud (Action Fraud, Administrator, National) |
Online auction sites are regularly targeted by fraudsters advertising desirable items for sale which are below market value, but do not exist. Fraudsters use a variety of techniques to persuade the potential buyer that the item is genuine and that any advanced payment will be protected or reimbursed should the product be faulty or not received.
Protect yourself:
- Stay within the auction guidelines stipulated on the website.
- Payments made via bank transfer, money transfer or e-money are not protected, should you not receive the item.
- View the item in person if possible.
- If the item advertised seems too good to be true, it probably is.
IF YOU NEED TO REPORT A FRAUD PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, REPORT IT TO ACTION FRAUD ON 0300 123 2040 OR USING THE ACTION FRAUD REPORTING TOOL VIA THE ACTION FRAUD WEBSITE - http://www.actionfraud.police.

It will not have escaped your notice on the national news that Operation Yewtree (investigating the Jimmy Saville abuse offences) keeps on making the headlines. One result of this is that far more historical and current abuse cases are now being reported to the police. All such reports are taken seriously and are fully investigated. Whilst a growing team of specialist officers carry out the main enquiries, it is often the local officers who are the first point of contact for the victims. A great deal of training is given to all police officers in how to recognize and deal with Child Sexual Exploitation and all other forms of related abuse. Not only will the police carry out a thorough and sympathetic investigation, but they will also work with other agencies in order to ensure that victims receive the support that they need, not only through the police investigation, but also to help them get their lives back on track, after their ordeal.
It always comes as a surprise when a new location of such abuse is identified. The main thing to learn from this is that abuse can happen anywhere in the country and in any place where young or vulnerable people are present. It is therefore important that everyone is aware of the possibility of offenders trying to take advantage of vulnerable people and not to think ‘it could never happen here’…
