    Almost 21 million reports have been made to the Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS), resulting in the removal of over 235,000 malicious websites. SERS was launched by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/ and the City of London Police in April 2020 to enable the public to forward suspicious emails to an automated system that scans them for malicious links. Since its launch, almost 21 million reports have been made to the service. Mobile phone providers also offer a service that allows customers to report suspicious text messages, by forwarding them to the number 7726. The service is free of charge and enables providers to takedown malicious websites and block malicious texts from being sent across their network. As of 31 May 2023, 54,000 text message scams have been removed as a result of suspicious texts forwarded to the 7726 service. Commander Nik Adams, from City of London Police, said: “Every year, thousands of people in the UK are scammed by a fraudulent email or text message. Phishing scams, whether it’s a text message claiming you have missed a delivery and are required to pay a redelivery fee, or an email claiming to be from your bank are a common security challenges that both individuals and businesses across the UK face on a daily basis. “If you receive an email or text message that you think might be a scam, don’t respond to it or click any links in the message or email. Instead, contact the organisation directly using contact information from the company’s official website, and not the links or numbers provided in the message itself. “If you think you have been a victim of fraud, report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040. By reporting phishing scams or suspected fraud, you are directly helping us in our work to identify and stop these criminals and helping us protect others from these scams. If you are in Scotland, I ask that you report the fraud directly to Police Scotland by calling 101.” How to protect yourself from scam emails and texts Received an email or text that seems suspicious? Report it. Your reports enable us to remove the emails and websites criminals use to commit fraud and cyber crime. 1: Forward suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk . Send emails to this address that feel suspicious, even if you're not certain they're a scam - we can check. 2: Forward suspicious text messages to 7726 (it’s free of charge). Your provider can find out where the text came from and block or ban the sender. 3 - If you’ve lost money or provided personal information as a result of a phishing scam, notify your bank immediately and report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040. In Scotland, call Police Scotland on 101. Please note: Sometimes a forwarded email may not reach us because it is already recognised by spam detection services. You can also take a screenshot of the email and send it to report@phishing.gov.uk (If you found this information useful, please forward it to your friends and family) Message Sent By Action Fraud (Action Fraud, Administrator, National)

    Driving from the M4 through Langley towards Iver I go through the now completed roadworks near the shops. There is no indication I can see of a 20mph speed limit until nearly at the shops there is a 20 written in the road. Outside the college there is a 20 sign on a post. Does anyone know what the speed limit should be along that road, as when the road markings are hidden by snow only the posted sign will be an indicator for just a few yards/metres before reverting? Are the council trying to save money by not putting up signage? Can they fine you if there is none?

    Hi Scoop, Is it possible to allocate this loop to a new Admin please as there appears to be nothing but advertising being posted and nobody able to stop it? Either that or change the posting access so that only trusted members can post, thereby preventing new members from advertising. Or perhaps archiving the loop including the proper comments and stopping any more posting (although Long Covid may require new posts). Something needs to be done to prevent idiot posters filling all available unmoderated loops with junk. Thank you.

    Hi! Neighbourhood Watch (NW) is possibly the biggest voluntary organisation in the UK, with some 3 million Members. Why is NW so popular? Firstly, it’s FREE to join (How? See below.) Registered Members get prompt advice from the Police on local crimes and crime-prevention advice. Our National website at ourwatch.org.uk is bursting with guides to staying safe in your home and in your community – making where YOU live a better place to be. You can choose which other service-providers to get messages from, such as the PCC, Get Safe Online or the Fire Service. It’s your choice. Perhaps best of all, having a NW Scheme in YOUR road helps to bring neighbours together with the common aim of making your area a more caring community. Each NW Scheme is unique. Each is run the way neighbours choose it to be. NW provides the basic structure and support. The rest is your choice. How is FREE to join? The Police know from experience that NW actually works in deterring crime. Crime rates tend to be lower where there are NW Schemes. So a lot of the (modest) costs of running NW across the UK is funded by the Government, through the Home Office. In addition, a small number of concerned commercial enterprises donate funds too. But most of all, NW is FREE because it is almost entirely run by volunteers, with only a handful of paid employees in our London Head Office. Everyone else gives their time willingly to help keep their community safer. So, PLEASE JOIN US. It is very easy – just go to ourwatch.org.uk and register as a Member. If you want to set up a new NW Scheme in YOUR road, simply follow the steps shown on the website, and contact bucksnhw@gmail.com if you need any help or further advice. YOU WILL BE VERY WELCOME!

    Dear Subscriber, Why are email accounts so important? Your emails contain a lot of information about you, so it’s crucial you make your email password strong. If criminals get into your email account, they could access personal information that could be used to scam you or others. To make it harder for them, always use an email password that you haven’t used elsewhere. Your email inbox can also act as a ‘gateway’ to your other accounts. Once they can access it, a criminal could use the ‘forgot password’ option to request emails enabling them to get into other accounts, such as your social media. How to secure your email account Your email password. Using a combination of 3 random words creates passwords that are long enough and strong enough. Avoid words that can be guessed, like your pet’s name or birth month. Adding numbers and symbols is a good way to make your password even harder to guess. Turn on 2-Step Verification (2SV) for your email. 2-Step Verification (2SV) gives you twice the protection so even if cyber criminals have your password, they can't access your email. 2SV works by asking for more information to prove your identity. For example, getting a code sent to your phone when you sign in using a new device or change settings such as your password. You won't be asked for this every time you check your email.

    This campaign was launched by Action Fraud. Please pass it on to family members and friends who may have missed it. Don’t get burnt before you’re on the beach: Action Fraud reports over £15m lost to holiday fraud in the past year Action Fraud, the national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime, has today published new data showing that in the last financial year, it received 6,457 reports of holiday fraud, amounting to over £15m lost. Victims reported losing a total of £15,319,057, a 41 per cent increase on last year’s results, which amounts to an average loss of £2,372 per victim. From May – August alone, more than £4.6m was lost. With the summer months seeing the highest levels for holiday fraud reports, Action Fraud has launched a national awareness campaign today to urge the public to think twice before booking a holiday, so consumers don’t get burnt before they are on the beach. Pauline Smith, Head of Action Fraud, said: “With summer only just around the corner, we enter a period where fraudsters ramp up efforts to catch out unsuspecting members of the public. “Scammers prey on people wanting to find a good deal online – whether that’s cheap flights, great hotels close to the beach at discounted rates or package holidays that undercut well-known travel operators and brands, people are more than willing to snap up a deal which sometimes comes at a heavy cost. “When booking a holiday here or abroad, it’s important to do your research before handing over any money and to double check any website. To avoid the wave of crime this summer we encourage people to stop, check and research before paying. If it sounds too good to be true – it most definitely is.” Anna Bowles, Head of Consumers and Enforcement at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, which runs the ATOL financial protection scheme, said: "Before booking any trip abroad it is always worth doing some homework before you part with any money to make sure you limit your risk of being impacted by fraud. Make sure you research the company you're booking through - check reviews and ensure that your booking includes all the extras you're expecting, such as baggage allowance and transfers. “We also recommend some simple measures to financially protect your well-earned holiday, including using the atol.org website to check your trip is financially protected by ATOL, consider paying by credit card and taking out travel insurance as soon as you book. This will add extra layers of protection against anything going wrong with your booking.” Data revealed that the top 10 hotspots of people being caught out by holiday fraud in the UK were as follows: London, West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Thames Valley, West Yorkshire, Hampshire, Essex, Sussex. Avon and Somerset and Kent. Interestingly, People in their 20s and 40s who reported losses accounted for 44 per cent of all reports, further dispelling the myth that only older people are targeted by fraudsters. Holiday fraud encompasses many different tactics employed by criminals to dupe unsuspecting members of the public. The most frequent frauds are clone comparison websites, airline websites and holiday websites. At a quick glance it would appear you are on a trusted site, whereas in reality the URL has been changed. Here, victims assume they are on the genuine site and willingly hand over money at a great cost. Fake confirmation emails or booking references are even sent, which has resulted in some cases of victims only realising they have fallen victim to fraud when they are at the airport to check in for their flight to be told that their booking does not exist. An emerging trend is fraudsters using counterfeit Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (ATOL) protect numbers on their fake webpage. All credible and trusted companies are provided with a number that shows the company has passed the regulatory checks by ATOL, with this number being unique to the website. Recently, fake websites have used duplicate or fabricated numbers which have been edited onto an ATOL logo. ATOL recommends double checking all numbers on websites and with travel operators before handing over any money. If you do pay, use a credit card as this can offer greater protection should you lose your money. Top tips to avoid falling victim to holiday fraud Do your own research: Booking your trip via a company you haven’t used before? Do some research to check they're legitimate. Read feedback from sources that you trust, such as consumer websites. You can find a company’s official website by searching for them on Google or another trusted search engine. Look for the logo: Check whether the company is an ABTA Member. https://www.abta.com/abta-member-search Look for the ABTA logo on the company's website. If you have any doubts, you can verify membership of ABTA online on their website. If you're booking a flight as part of a package holiday and want more information about ATOL protection, or would like to check whether a company is an ATOL holder, visit the ATOL https://www.atol.org/about-atol/how-to-check-for-protection/ or CAA website. Pay safe: Book your holiday with a credit card, if you have one. Most major credit card providers protect online purchases, and are obliged to refund you in certain circumstances. https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/everyday-money/credit-and-purchases/how-youre-protected-when-you-pay-by-card?source=mas Using a credit card (rather than a debit card) also means that if your payment details are stolen, your main bank account won’t be directly affected. Secure your email: If your email is hacked, it could allow a criminal to access information about your holiday booking. Use 3 random words to create a strong password for your email that’s different to all your other passwords. If you’re offered 2-step verification to protect your email and social media accounts, always use it. For a full list of tips to avoid becoming a victim of fraud, please visit https://www.atol.org/about-atol/how-to-check-for-protection/ or https://www.abta.com/tips-and-advice/planning-and-booking-a-holiday/how-avoid-travel-related-fraud. If you think you’ve been a victim of fraud, contact your bank immediately and report it to Action Fraud online at actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040, or call Police Scotland on 101.
