I do get quite a lot of Scam information and statistics, but this latest one was one of our own Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators, who has had Scam awareness training.

So many times I’ve posted various scam scenerios – it is so, so easy to fall victim of this type of crime and the chances of the Police catching them is very remote, as I have said, could be anywhere……
