NEW PRIZEDRAW SCAM: A local resident took a telephone call from someone purporting to be from a prizedraw company, and telling them that they had won about Ł100,000. They wanted details for the payment. They called back later to say that a fee of Ł1700 had to be paid to release the cash. Thankfully the resident was not fooled.

Please bear this scam in mind and no matter what plausible excuse they give, IF YOU HAVEN'T ENTERED A PRIZE DRAW OR COMPETITION, YOU CAN'T HAVE WON ANYTHING.

Also please remember that you will NEVER have to send any money in to a genuine prize draw, to claim your winnings.

INFORMATION UPDATE EVENING: Our recent event was a great success. Our speaker was Malcolm Rogers, a Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator from High Roding, who is also an experienced Magistrate. Malcolm gave us an entertaining and informative look at the role of Magistrates. There were plenty of questions and comments from the audience about the Justice system and everyone agreed it had been a very worthwhile evening.
