Richard’s computer was hacked this week. A number of people received an email saying he had been mugged and asking for money. If you received this email, we trust you realised it was a scam.

 

Richard says “I am astonished at the number of people who contacted me to say this has happened to them. Interestingly, there is a very good article on Scams in the recent, excellent newsletter from the South Sutton Neighbourhood Association (SSNA). This advises, if you suspect a scam or are a victim, to contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040, and advertises a booklet produced by the Metropolitan Police Operation Sterling Team which can be obtained by calling 0207 230 1228.”

 

We recommend joining the SSNA if you live in the area the Association covers. Contact us for details of how to join.
