All,
Please see below a warning from a resident that I received today
Subject: Bogus Phone Call
Hi Steve,
Just lately I have been receiving phone calls from my ‘service provider’. The woman, American accent, talks about my IP address being compromised, and action needed to protect it etc etc. Obviously a scam.
This morning at 07. 28, I had a similar, but more soundingly plausible from an English man purporting to represent Offcom. I played along and then a woman, Indian accent, proceeded to go through her patter. When I asked , how did I know that she represented Offcom, and then requested a letter confirming the problem, the phone went dead. The phone number they used was 02088513072, when dialled was unobtainable.
Obviously a scam, but quite a convincing one. It took me a while to decide that it was in fact a scam. Others may not be so wary. I hope that you can us this incident to warn others.

Just to make you aware of another scam that is going around and has been experienced by a number of villagers.
It is a telephone call from either BT or Talk Talk stating that your router is sending out a virus and needs to be checked out.
BT security has been contacted and they advise that they will never telephone people (unless it is a return call) and that we, the customer, should never pass any information on.
They have asked us to pass this message on through our community alerts and social media.
Most of us are probably savvy to this type of scam, but please advise your neighbours who may not be connected, particularly the more vulnerable in our community.
