Cambridgeshire Police Fraud Alert

Cambridgeshire Police Fraud Alert – Beware of calls claiming to be from Action Fraud

Action Fraud (www.actionfraud.police.uk) is the national Police reporting centre for all fraud and cyber-related crime and provides quality information and products to help protect yourself, family, and business.

I am aware of information that suggests fraudsters are making telephone calls to the public and impersonating Action Fraud.

Currently, none of these reports appear to originate from within Cambridgeshire.

If you get a call from someone claiming to be from Action Fraud, hang up immediately it is highly likely a scam.

Action Fraud will NOT cold call the public either by telephone, social media, text, or email. If you wish to communicate with Action Fraud, then visit their genuine website www.actionfraud.police.uk and use the contact details on the webpage.

If you suspect that you may have been a victim of a scam, then contact your Bank immediately and then report to Action Fraud.

Jail For Stalker Who Claimed Mistaken Identity

A man has been jailed after he stalked a woman who he claimed to have mistaken for someone else.

Darren Hodgkinson, 53, began harassing the woman in Wisbech after he believed her to be a prison guard he recognised called Jackie.

Between 10 December 2021 and 4 January 2022, he visited the victim’s home in Park Avenue six times despite being told he had the wrong address and to go away.

Hodgkinson, of New Drove, Wisbech, also took cardboard from the victim’s bin, wrote notes on it and posted them through her letterbox.

Police were called and he was arrested at the scene on 4 January.

In interview he claimed to have been returning to the address multiple times to apologise for the initial mistaken identity.

However, on Friday (29 March) he pleaded guilty to stalking at Peterborough Crown Court and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and handed an indefinite restraining order.

DC Jon Edwards said: “Hodgkinson continued to turn up at the victim’s home, despite being told numerous times not to come. His behaviour was frightening and caused her to change their daily lifestyle.

“I hope the conclusion of the court process will help her to move on with life without this harassment.

“We’re dedicated to helping victims of stalking and domestic abuse and I’d encourage anyone who has been subjected to offences like this to come forward.”

Beware Of Council Energy Tax Rebate – SCAM

Please refer to my article below – on how scheme works…


Please be aware
of scam phone calls, texts and emails circulating, concerning the £150 Council Tax rebate. People are being asked to give their bank details to receive the rebate. Local councils say they would never cold call, text or email you and ask for your bank details to make the payment. 

Please do not give out your bank details – this a tactic scammers are reportedly using to try and prise sensitive financial details off you for criminal activity purposes.

The council tax rebate scheme was announced by the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak to help people with rising energy bills. All eligible households in England in council tax bands A to D, should get the £150 payment from their District Council from April this year. If you currently pay your council tax by direct debit, you should automatically get the rebate payment into your bank account without needing to take any action. If you don’t pay by direct debit, local authorities are working out the best way to get the rebate to you and they will write to you letting you know what will happen.

For more information about the £150 Council Tax Rebate – please click here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/council-tax-rebate-factsheet

Please share this important information with your families and friends and remember to ‘stay alert and under no circumstances give out your bank details to anyone who contacts you’.
