Scammers use false identities on Social Media (for example: Facebook) to make friends with strangers such as you, perhaps they "Just want to talk" or it may be that they claim to be looking for romance.They can target both men and women.It could ALL be a lie: pictures, gender, location. All they really want is your money or your friend list so they can build a clientele of people to scam. Plus, they want the credibility of being connected to you so all your friends will think they are legit.There's really only two outcomes of you "friending" them and talking with them:1. They will take your money.2. They will steal someone else's money on your good name.______________What you can do:_______________- Stop accepting anyone and everyone as a friend and block any of them who start talking nonsense in messenger.- Get your account setup with 2 factor authentication for ALL of your social media accounts.- If your friend suddenly sends you something that is out of character - Contact Your Friend Immediately By Some Other Means. Do not use their FB account. If it's a casual friend who you've never really messaged before, block them. Don't ignore them, block them.- Stop talking to people on FB who you don't know or didn't friend - sometimes they'll message you without being your friend.____________________________________________________________________****Read this excellent article to understand more about Social Media Friending Scams****blog.knowbe4.com/ok-guys-this-one-is-for-you.-yes-you.-the-guy-who-keeps-friending-strange-women-on-facebook?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=64975093&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_-gjK_xj9idU0W12Z7YzhzgspsRswmX8tbmblZaqzyn-qA4rYuAD2a4XQnX6gLqP-aFvgR0dztAug0LiFqwl-2JYs5uXE6S0KdR8NZtYxPLSHAAOo&_hsmi=64975093

Crime Prevention Advice

We have received several reports of a smartly dressed foreign male in a grey Mercedes, calling door to door, trying to sell kitchen knives and pans from the back of his car.  The male is saying that the stock is from a show that he has recently attended and he wants to sell it before returning home to Switzerland . Please be careful if you decide to buy anything as the male is taking payment either in cash or in Euros by credit or debit card and this can cause confusion about the actual amount that is being paid.

Crime Prevention Advice

 Recently there was an incident in Beverley where a resident was defrauded out of a large sum of money by a rouge trader.

What is a distraction burglar or rogue trader?

• A distraction burglar is someone who gains access to your property by distracting or tricking their way in to steal cash or valuables.

• While rogue trader is a cold caller who deliberately overcharges for unsatisfactory goods and/or services. This can include: charging for unnecessary work, damaging property deliberately in order to obtain money, leaving work unfinished and intimidating behaviour in order to extort money.
 
 
To prevent falling foul of rogue trader please follow the advice below:
• Never buy at the door and don’t let people you don’t know into your home.
• If you are unsure about whether the person at the door is who they claim to be – for example a council worker – take their name and shut and lock the door while you call their employer to check. Legitimate callers will not mind you doing this.
• When you answer the front door, ensure no rear or side doors and windows have been left insecure. It may be that the caller is trying to distract you while someone else sneaks in.
• If a trader cold calls check whether they are members of the Consumer Codes Approval Scheme or the Government Trust Mark scheme.
• If you want work done discuss it with a friend or family member who can help you find a reputable trader
• Don’t agree to any work or sign anything on the spot. Do not be pressured into having any work carried out.
• Never pay cash up front and never go to the bank or cash point with a trader

Community Safety News

[We work hard to prevent burglary and bring offenders to justice, however there are actions that householders can take to reduce the risk of being burgled.
Often many homes are left unsecured with doors and windows left open or unlocked, which provide easy access for a thief.
Make sure your doors and windows are closed and locked when you’re not in the room. Nearly half of all burglaries are down to someone leaving a door or window open
Make sure nothing of value is left on show to tempt thieves into breaking into your property.
Take your keys up to bed with you at night. This prevents thieves stealing your car.
Think about fitting a burglar alarm and security lighting – both to your home and outbuildings. It may be expensive, but they are very effective deterrents and can bring down your insurance costs.]


Alternatively you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
