Although ‘most’ will have had their jab this year – there is a scam going around.
Please be aware of the following scam. Please forward to family, friends and colleague.
Flu Jab Scams: According to NHS England, an elderly lady has lost £5000 in a recent scam. The lady was called by a person purporting to be a GP at her local practice. The fraudster informed the victim that for a £1.50 fee the GP could attend their
home to administer the flu jab and requested bank details in order to confirm the appointment for more information see the link below.
Many thanks

A very good attendance last evening at The Cambridgeshire Exectutive Group of NHW,
I have been part of this committee for over 8 years.
Whittlesey NHW Secretary Robin Sutton, was re-elected as the Chairman of the Area Group.
One item did take my ear and I had to make comment/question, was when the Police Representative (Vic) told us that under PM Johnsons 20,000 more Police Officers in the next 3 years – Cambs would be getting 62 !!!! –
There are 36 Police and Crime Commisioners in England and 4 in Wales.
The London area is treated seperatly – ~
So on my calculations 20,000/40 = 500 – So each PCC area should somewhere equal share – then take away the London allocation – well maybe 200/300 but we’re getting 62
I was quicky told that London itself was to get 2,500 – and that the number allocated was based on several factors.
So I have supported for 2 years increases in our Precept to fund more Officers in Cambs, and some of these are now just filtering through with a ‘few’ allocated to Fenland.
So are we again in Cambs being short changed – I don’t know – maybe your maths is better than mine.
An excellent presentation by Crime Stoppers.
| Roy Gerstner Chairman Whittlesey & District Neighbourhood Watch Action Fraud is warning people about a new scam that charges individuals for an Amazon Prime subscription. The organisation has received hundreds of reports of a scam where victims receive an automated phone call claiming they’ve been charged for an Amazon Prime subscription. The phone call informs people their personal details have been fraudulently used to subscribe to Amazon Prime, however, they can cancel the transaction by pressing 1 on their phone keypad. When victims do this, they are automatically connected to criminals posing as Amazon customer service representatives, who then remotely access their computer and steal their personal and financial details.
