TOP TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE ONLINE

Do not write down your PIN or share it with others.

Do not write down your online banking login details.

Use a strong password for online banking that you do not use for any other service. The same goes for your email account. Use a mixture of letters, numbers and special characters such as *, @, !.

Do not email any details of your account to anyone, even your trusted friends and family. If your email account is ever compromised this could be a goldmine of sensitive personal and financial information for a fraudster.

Never access online banking in a public WiFi hotspot.

And finally, make sure DataPatrol is helping to protect your money and monitoring your financial information to keep you safe from online fraud.

Warning: Scam Relating to Neighbourhood Watch

Dear Watch member,
Please circulate the following message to Watch members in your area.
A resident in South London has reported a possible scam taking place in his locality.
A man claiming to represent ‘Neighbourhood Watch Support’ telephoned to say that a Neighbourhood Watch brochure was going out to all the local residents.  The caller was encouraging local businesses to advertise in this brochure.
The resident agreed to place an advertisement and later received a further phone call from a company calling itself ‘Business Community Support Multimedia’.  The caller took some details over the phone.
At a later date the resident received a letter with a ‘proof’ for the advertisement.  Apart from the name of the business and the contact phone number, every detail was incorrect.  The accompanying letter said that unless any amendments were received within five days (by phone, email or fax) they would assume that the details were correct and place the advert.
The resident tried several times to contact the company by email and phone but to no avail, finding his emails unanswered and his phone calls cut off.  Luckily he had not yet paid any money for the advertisement
We would like to make it clear that there is no such organisation as ‘Neighbourhood Watch Support’ and the Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network does not produce any such local brochures nor contract Business Community Support Multimedia to do so.  
If you have any concerns, questions or issues you would like to raise relating to this, please contact us on enquiries@nationalnhw.org  or 0116 229 3118 and do not agree to anything over the telephone or on your doorstep.  
Yours faithfully, 
Catherine Dunn
Information & Database Officer
Neighbourhood & Home Watch Network (England and Wales)
