Frognal Community Update and Fraud Prevention Advice

Frognal Community Update and Fraud Prevention Advice

Good morning, dear residents of Frognal,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to share a few updates from across the ward.

On Wednesday, we held a community engagement event at Ginger at the Window. Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by and speak with us. It was a pleasure to meet residents, discuss local issues, and hear your thoughts and concerns. Your engagement and support are greatly valued and help us to strengthen our community relationships.

As we approach the festive season, I would also like to remind residents to remain vigilant against fraud and scam offences. Unfortunately, fraudsters often increase their activity in the lead-up to Christmas, targeting individuals through telephone calls, emails, text messages, and social media platforms in an attempt to obtain money or personal information.

Please be aware that if you receive a telephone call from someone claiming to be a police officer and asking you to withdraw, transfer, or hand over money, this is a scam. The police will never ask you for money, bank account details, PIN numbers, or request that you transfer funds to another account.

If you receive such a call:

By remaining alert and sharing this advice with family, friends, and neighbours, we can help protect our community from becoming victims of fraud.

Thank you for your continued support and assistance in helping to keep Frognal a safe and welcoming place to live.

Kind regards,

Naomi Francis
PCSO
