Warwickshire Police need your help with information about suspicious activity
21-11-2017 01:37 PM GMT
Warwickshire Police currently have two countywide operations in progress. These operations are focussing on reducing the number of incidents of vehicle crime and house burglaries across Warwickshire. In order to get the very best out of these operations, they need the help and support of local communities with information and intelligence. If you think something in your area is suspicious, it probably is. You will know your area and its usual activity and comings/goings. If you think something is odd, out of place and suspicious, they need to hear from you. Before every incident, there is usually some suspicious activity and the Police need calls to make them aware of this. Please could we encourage you to call 101 if you notice suspicious persons, vehicles or activity around your own or neighbouring homes. If you believe that a crime is in progress, please dial 999. Finally, to ensure that this message reaches as many people as possible, please could we ask you to share as widely as you can.
21/11/2017 Farmers warned to beware of rogue tarmac gangs 21-11-2017 09:43 AM GMT

The gangs either door knock or more recently (and in a new twist to an old scam) phone the farm and claim they have some left over tarmac they want to get rid of. They imply that they would rather tip the tarmac on the farm driveway to cover a few potholes as a favour, rather than have to dispose of it. If the farmer agrees, the rogue gang arrive quickly, spread the tarmac and then demand thousands of pounds with menaces!

A Warwickshire resident received a phone call which she believed was genuine because she had very recently cancelled her Sky subscription. She told the caller this and then a few moments later received another phone call asking her to confirm her payment details relating to the account. She did and shortly afterwards someone made a withdrawal of £200 from her account. Fortunately her bank were able to recover the money.

16/06/2017 Warwickshire Trading Standards white van 16-06-2017 09:43 AM BST A number of people have reported seeing a white van marked 'Trading Standards' out and about and thought it might be bogus. Can I reassure everyone that our van is legitimate. Trading Standards Officers were carrying out an enforcement exercise to remove illegal and misleading advertising on the public highway. Approximately 11 advertising pallets were taken. You can find out more about this enforcement project here.
We do however know that fraudsters will sometimes pretend to be Trading Standards Officers in order to carry out their crimes, even going to the trouble of wearing clothing with Trading Standards logos and using fake ID. We therefore welcome any reports concerning the activities of Warwickshire Trading Standards across the county and are only too happy to confirm or otherwise the legitimacy of these activities. If you have any concerns, please contact Warwickshire Trading Standards via a publicly listed phone number

Smishing Used To Defraud Victims 30-05-2017 08:27 AM BST
Action Fraud has warned that a fraudsters are using a technique called Smishing to try and gain money from members of the public. Smishing – the term used for SMS phishing – is an activity which enables criminals to steal victims’ money or identity, or both, as a result of a response to a text message. Smishing uses your mobile phone (either a smartphone or traditional non-internet connected handset) to manipulate innocent people into taking various actions which can lead to being defrauded. The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau has received information that fraudsters are targeting victims via text message, purporting to be from their credit card provider, stating a transaction has been approved on their credit card. The text message further states to confirm if the transaction is genuine by replying ‘Y’ for Yes or ‘N’ for No. Through this method the fraudster would receive confirmation of the victim’s active telephone number and would be able to engage further by asking for the victim’s credit card details, CVV number (the three digits on the back of your bank card) and/or other personal information. Protect yourself: Always check the validity of the text message by contacting your credit card provider through ... Continue reading →

More Scams Arise Following #NHS #CyberAttack 24-05-2017 08:11 AM BST
Action Fraud has received the first reports of Tech-Support scammers claiming to be from Microsoft who are taking advantage of the global WannaCry ransomware attack. One victim fell for the scam after calling a ‘help’ number advertised on a pop up window. The window which wouldn’t close said the victim had been affected by WannaCry Ransomware. The victim granted the fraudsters remote access to their PC after being convinced there wasn’t sufficient anti-virus protection. The fraudsters then installed Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, which is actually free, and took £320 as payment. It is important to remember that Microsoft’s error and warning messages on your PC will never include a phone number. Additionally Microsoft will never proactively reach out to you to provide unsolicited PC or technical support. Any communication they have with you must be initiated by you. How to protect yourself: Don’t call numbers from pop-up messages. Never allow remote access to your computer. Always be wary of unsolicited calls. If you’re unsure of a caller’s identity, hang up.

A Warwickshire resident reported receiving a phone call from someone claiming to be from HMRC to say that they were taking a 'lawsuit' against him.
