Courier Fraud Scam

This is a message sent via Lincolnshire Alert. This information has been sent on behalf of Lincolnshire Police (Please do not reply directly to this email, please use the Reply button at the bottom of this message) Message sent by Sharon Horne (Police & NHWN, NHW Administrator, Lincolnshire) Message from Lincolnshire Police Headquarters, Community Safety Department, Monday, 25th February 2014.  Police are warning Lincolnshire residents after two incidents occurred in the county where residents have been victims of a 'Courier Fraud' scam. On both occasions residents have been contacted on their land line and informed that their bank cards have been used fraudulently.  They are then advised to end the call and contact their bank.   The offenders are keeping the line open so that when the victim believes they are contacting their bank, they are actually put through to someone else involved in the scam.  Victims are then asked to provide their address and PIN numbers and a courier is sent to the address. The victim hands over their bank card and money is immediately withdrawn from their accounts. Contact Lincolnshire Police Tel 101 (non emergency number) to report any similar incident.

Not sure – don’t open the door.

Street Lighting

The Alert/ Neighbourhood Watch have published the results of a survey to attitudes towards Street Lighting.  More to follow judging by this report.

The results of the survey are now available to download from our website here:
http://www.ourwatch.org.uk/resource_centre/document_library/nhwn_suzy_lamplugh_trust_perceptions_of_safety_report/

15,786 people responded to the survey. 22% of participants said that lighting had been switched off or dimmed in their area. Of those participants, 55.8% of the women and 38.8% of the men said that their community now feels less safe. When comparing the data by age, a higher number of younger respondents felt their safety was negatively affected.  Asked how dimming or switching off lighting affects their behaviour, 40% of respondents considered going out less, 65% avoided unlit areas and 15% said they would take taxis rather than walk.  To read more detail please see the full report.

Suzy Lamplugh Trust undertook Freedom of Information requests about street lighting cuts by local authorities across England and Wales with a view to comparing these results with the survey results. 

 However, due to staff illness, they have not yet completed this in as much detail as they wished.  Instead they plan to circulate this as another report at a later date.
