Local Scams

[rosegriffin]

Here's an extract from the April PC minutes

"PCSO Emma Spurr warned regarding bogus builders cold calling on vulnerable residents and extorting money for repairs to roofs that were not required. She urged residents to check that the builders were genuine before getting any work carried out.

“ Operation Seaford” had been set up to apprehend bogus callers as a number of residents had received phone calls from individuals purporting to be Police Officers and requesting bank details, which would never be the case. Residents were urged to be cautious when dealing with cold callers.

PCSO Spurr advised an individual had been apprehended following reports of drug activities."
