Good afternoon
 
I have taken a call from a member of public who has lost their much loved pet Cockatiel. He went from the Park Lane area of Southam two weeks ago. He is mostly yellow with grey.
 
If seen please contact me so that we can reunite the couple.
 
Kind regards

@NAT - Subject: Holiday Fraud (Amended)


 This information has been sent on behalf of Action Fraud (National Fraud Intelligence Bureau)

Message sent by
Action Fraud (Action Fraud, Administrator, National)

With summer holidays fast approaching, individuals are often more exposed to travel booking frauds when looking for last minute package deals / cheap flights. Whether paying upfront for a family holiday or simply booking a flight, payments are transferred only to discover that the holiday / airline ticket does not exist and was sold to you by a bogus travel company. Fraudsters will often lure in potential customers with low prices and ‘one time only’ offers that are simply too good to pass up, requesting payment by the preferred method of direct bank transfer.

Protect Yourself
  • Avoid responding to unsolicited calls, texts or emails offering holidays at incredibly low prices.
  • Whenever possible, pay for your holiday by credit card as it offers increased protection.
  • Always remember to look for the ‘https’ and locked padlock icon in the address bar before entering your payment details.
  • Never feel pressured to make a booking for fear that you will miss out on this ‘low price’ opportunity. If you have never used the company before, take your time to do some online research to ensure they are reputable.
  • Should you make a flight or hotel booking through a travel company, feel free to separately check with the hotel / airline that your booking does indeed exist.

If you have been affected by this, or any other scam, report it to Action Fraud by calling 0300 123 2040, or visiting www.actionfraud.police.uk

As of the increasing number of burglaries and thefts that have occurred within the last month in and around Southam, it’s more important than ever people with sheds and outdoor containers keep their property safe and secure. Check that all doors and outside storage containers are locked at night and when you are out. It is also a good idea to possibly leave a few lights on at your property as so to deter criminals into trying to gain entry into your property, giving the impression someone is home.

If you have any information regarding any of these incidents, please call 101.
