FDC Cabinet meeting will take place this afternoon at 3pm on the video streaming platform YouTube™ – See agenda below.
Here is a screenshot of an O2 text scam.
Question, if you have an O2 account and had received the same text, what would you have done?
Of course, if you do not have an O2 account I would hope that you would delete it immediately.
Criminals send millions of messages that appear to come from legitimate senders such as; O2, Amazon, Netflix, PayPal, Gov.uk, HMRC, TV licensing, eBay, BT, this list is almost endless.
I would suggest that if you receive an electronic communication from what on face value appears to be a recognisable company by either text, email, WhatsApp, Messenger etc then don’t respond by clicking on the link or contacting the telephone number within the message. Instead, login to your online account using your normal tried, tested and trusted means.
If you are an O2 customer, further advice can be found here:

Remember, you can report scam text messages by forwarding it to 7726.
By reporting these text messages it alerts other people across the UK to the scam, and it provides an opportunity to take down the website the link relates to.

No chance – there was of course the temporary closure of Recycling Centres – but Fly-Tipper will always be here – this is from yesterday along Glassmoor Bank.. It has been reported and as usual FDC Rapid Response Team will deal with it….

Several have contacted me this morning re ‘Face Coverings’ and they inform me that the majority of people are adhearing to the Governments advice – That would be a very good start – let us hope it remains so…
| Dear Roy We write to you today 24th July 2020 to advise you of the fear of a rise in Disability Hate Crime, especially as new legislation about face coverings comes into effect today across England. There has been a big increase during Covid-19 of targeted attacks on disabled people. They have been verbally abused, spat at and in some instances physically attacked. For example, one disabled passenger on public transport, who cannot wear a face covering, was targeted by another passenger, who shouted: “This person hasn’t got a mask. This person is trying to infect us. They are trying to kill us.” We have posted an article on our website and we ask you to share this to your distribution lists in the hope that by raising awareness and promoting compassion and respect, that we have together highlighted this issue in our communities.
