This message relates to Police Log 363 26 January 2012.

We have received reports of residents receiving telephone calls from a person claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice advising that the individual could receive payments, such as repayment of bank charges or other debts. In order to claim this rebate the individual has to provide personal details and make an upfront payment, often by asking the individual for a Ukash voucher and asking for the voucher number.

This is a scam. Please ignore such calls and simply put the phone down. Please inform neighbours and display this scam in notice boards. We also ask shops who issue such vouchers to be wary and help those who may fall victim to this scam by not issuing vouchers if suspicious, and contact us on 101.

This message relates to Police Crime CH/11/583.

In relation to a recent report received from a person who has been a victim of loan scam we are asking for people who are looking into a loan to be wary of whether the company is genuine, especially when applying online. The person reporting this scam made a partial amount/upfront fee to an account and was told that it would be paid back with the loan and the money was lost to the bogus company.

Please pass this information on to neighbours or if possible display this on your notice board as we do not want others to be a victim of this scam, especially this time of year.

If you have any information or concerns then please contact us on 101.

I have just had a phone call from an "unavailable" number offering me home security equipment free of charge! This was to be offered to residents of Woodbury under the age of 81 for a limited time. Quite clearly this would seem to be a scam of some sort, and where they got 81 from defies imagination.
