Scam Scam and More Scam #2

Banking Smishing Scams

Watch out for these ‘smishing’ (phishing by SMS) scams purporting to be from a bank and claiming that a new device has been paired with the recipient’s bank account. As with all phishing and smishing scams, the purpose of this is to trick you into clicking the link and parting with your banking or other personal details which the fraudster can then use to steal your money.

It’s not just Lloyds Bank’s good name that are being fraudulently used in this scam – this could also come from fraudsters using other bank names. Please be alert and warn others.

Scam – Scam and More Scam

With Christmas on the horizon, many are shopping already and looking for the must haves
beware….

Online Marketplace Photo Scam

With the PlayStation 5, or PS5 as it’s known, completely sold out in all major retailers across the UK, purchasers are being warned of a cruel trick targeting those desperate to get their hands on the games console in time for Christmas.

Some sellers on eBay are listing photos or an empty box of the new next-generation games console in an attempt to mislead eager buyers to part with their hard-earned cash – with some selling for £550. Often the listings are accompanied by good quality pictures and a decent description but hidden amongst the small print is included ‘photo’ or ‘box only’ or a similar statement of the true product.

Fortunately eBay are committed to removing all listings for photos of PS5s from their marketplace. However, at the time of writing, we found 28 listings when we used the search term ‘PS5 photo’. 

Whilst we know this is particularly prevalent on eBay and linked mostly to the highly-sought after PS5, the trick may also be used on other online marketplaces and/or for other high value items such as laptops and smartphones.

Please read all of the item title and item description carefully when buying items online and, if in doubt, ask the seller a question and document the answer for any future redress.

Help Us Understand How Covid-19 Has Impacted Crime & Other Activities

Dear Roy

COVID-19 and crime survey

We are delighted to be working with University College London to understand how COVID-19 has impacted upon people’s routine and online activities, crime and their perceptions of it.

To help with this work, we are encouraging our supporters to participate in a short survey (surveymonkey.co.uk/r/9LGPHDL) which closes on 23rd December.

As well as understanding how the pandemic has affected things to date, the aim of the survey is to understand how it might do so in the future. Your participation will be really valuable and help us understand things that other data cannot.

We estimate that it will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. Your responses will be stored securely and you will not be asked for any information that would identify you as an individual.

If you are willing to take part, please complete this survey: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/9LGPHDL

Please support this work – with your help I am sure we can gain real insight into the effects of COVID-19 on crime.
 
Yours faithfully,

Central Support Team, Neighbourhood Watch Network
