🔐 Stay Safe Online & Stop Fraud 💻

Dear Resident,

Fraudsters are active all year round, and online scams are becoming more convincing — but a few simple steps can keep you protected:

✅ Think before you click – Avoid unexpected links or attachments
✅ Protect your details – Never share passwords, bank info, or security codes
✅ Slow down – Scammers use pressure to make you act fast
✅ Update devices – Keep security features up to date
✅ Verify messages – Contact organisations using trusted details, not those provided in a message

🚨 Courier Fraud Alert:
Scammers may pretend to be your bank or even the police, claiming there’s a problem with your account. They might send someone to collect your card, cash, or valuables.

Remember: banks and police will never send a courier to your home. Hang up and check using an official number.

If something feels off — it probably is.

Report suspicious activity to Action Fraud: www.actionfraud.police.uk

Many thanks
