CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTSSheep WorryingSadly there has been a report of Sheep worrying in Woodhouse Lane, Gawsworth on the 14th April. The Sheep has later died. Chasing by dogs can do serious damage to sheep, even if the dog doesn’t catch them. The stress of worrying by dogs can cause sheep to die and pregnant ewes to miscarry their lambs. Sheep fleeing from dogs are often killed or seriously injured by their panicked attempts to escape, causing untold damage to fences and field boundaries in the process. It is an offence to allow a dog to worry sheep. It is vital that you keep your dog on the lead around livestock. If you have any information regarding the incident on Woodhouse lane then please call us on 101 Message Sent By 16. April, 2019Latest NewsComments Off on CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTS |

COMMEMORATIVE OAK TREE DEDICATED TO LOYAL PARISH GROUNDSMANWhen Nether Alderley was awarded a commemorative oak tree by Manchester Airport, as part of their 80th Birthday celebration, they decided to dedicate it to Norman Moore, who has served as a groundsman to St Mary’s Church and the Parish Hall for over 40 years. On Wednesday evening, March 27th, they held a planting ceremony in honour of Norman in the churchyard. It was attended by Norman’s friends and family, Parish Council members, children from Nether Alderley Primary School and their parents, and Manchester Airport Community Relations team. Alongside the tree there was also a time capsule, containing a whole variety of present day artefacts – in particular a project completed by the pupils Nether Alderley primary school. The best suggestions for what the children could include, from Esme, were buried in the container, along with another project based on predictions of what the future may hold! The ceremony was presided over by Cheshire East Ward Councillor, George Walton, who gave a speech and helped the children to plant the tree. Afterwards a reception was in the Parish Hall, laid on by Nether Alderley Parish Council, whose members provided food and refreshments for all guests. Jenny Shufflebottom, Chair of Nether Alderley Parish Council, said: “Every village needs a Norman Moore! We’re so glad to be able to honour him in this way, and to be able include children from the primary school as well was an absolute delight. “This was a real community effort, where all involved – including the stonemason, (Emery’s Monumental Services Ltd.) – provided services and provisions at their own expense. It was their way of recognising his dedication to the Parish.”

PRECEPT 2019/20Dear Residents, I am writing to you all to explain the recent increase in our Precept. I have been on the Parish Council since 2011 and I believe it is the first time since then that we have had to consider a significant increase. At our meeting on Monday, 7th January 2019, all members of the Parish Council agreed to an increase to meet its current obligations as well as the long overdue refurbishment of the Parish Hall. The Parish Council owns the hall and has a duty to maintain it to a standard “fit for the purpose” for the benefit of all the community. When we produced our Parish Plan in 2014 and asked for views from residents about the hall, the majority opinion was for our existing historic hall to be refurbished. Since then Councillors have been working hard behind the scenes, alongside architects and listed buildings experts to draw up plans for not only the refurbishment of the hall but to be able to provide a storage area by means of a small extension for equipment which at present we cannot provide. We are very close to having detailed plans available for all to view. We have also just completed a Business Plan which includes future marketing for the hall. As soon as the hall has been updated and is once again ‘fit for purpose’, it is envisaged that it will be self-funding and the hub of the community. As you may be aware, we were successful in securing some S106 money from the development at Alderley Park which will go a long way towards the refurbishment and gave us our initial platform to proceed with the repairs needed. However, as a result of the findings and recommendations of the following surveys: Condition Survey, Timber Survey, Mechanical and Electrical Survey, Measurement Survey and a Bat Survey, there is a shortfall. The works are extensive and include all remedial works necessary, along with new toilets, improved disabled access (at the moment there are several levels within the interior of the hall), new heating lighting etc. and as mentioned earlier, a small extension to the rear of the hall. After much deliberation, the Parish Council approved that the shortfall should be spread over a two year period (2019/20 and 2020/21) to mitigate these costs, after which the Precept will be reduced in line with day to day commitments. I can assure you that the decision was not taken lightly but with much due consideration. Therefore, the Parish Council’s Precept has been increased accordingly and for 2019-2020 will be £46,000.00 which equates to £90.08 for a Band D property. Whilst I appreciate that this is a significant rise for the next 2 years, we are minded that the hall is very much a community asset and myself and fellow Councillors believe that this is a fair way to raise the necessary monies which spreads the cost between all residents. I very much hope that you understand our reasoning. The Parish Council will hold an open event for all residents to come along to as soon as we have all our plans formalised. At which point we will be able to share our vision with all the residents and parishioners. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss this further. Kind regards, Jenny Shufflebottom Chairman of Nether Alderley Parish Council 21. March, 2019Latest NewsComments Off on PRECEPT 2019/20 |

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTSHave Your Say On How You Would Like To Contact Police In A Non-EmergencyPeople are being asked to give their views on how Cheshire Constabulary can make better use of technology to continue to provide the best possible service to the public. The Constabulary has launched an online Public Contact Survey to find out how the Cheshire public use technology and how people want to engage with police in an ever-changing digital world. The survey should take no longer than five-minutes to complete and asks questions around how you like to keep in contact with people in general and how you would like to be able to contact police in a non-emergency. The Constabulary’s options for contacting police in a non-emergency are currently by dialling 101 (the police non-emergency number), visiting an enquiry desk at a local police station, speaking to an officer in person at a local police surgery or contacting a named officer via the Cheshire Police website. Acting Assistant Chief Constable Ngaire Waine said: “We are all now living in a world where we are rapidly becoming more and more reliant on technology and having to adapt to the many daily tasks we do. As we let more technology into our lives, it is changing the way we keep in touch with each other and the way we access our goods and services. “With this in mind, we’re keen to hear from as many Cheshire residents as possible to find out how they are now using new technology and whether they would like us to make it more available for accessing police services. “The information will be used to help shape and improve how our residents can access police services in non-emergencies situations in the future, and how we can improve our contact with them. “It is important to point out that the results of this survey will in in no way effect our 999 service and people should always dial 999 where there is a threat to life or a crime is in progress.” The Public Contact Survey can be accessed online via the link below or by visiting the Cheshire Constabulary website. Public Contact Survey The deadline for completing the survey is Wednesday, 20 March 2019. Message Sent By 12. March, 2019Latest NewsComments Off on CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTS |

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTSTheft Of Keyless Entry VehiclesWe’ve seen an increase in the number of keyless car and van thefts. If your vehicle has keyless entry, check to see if the fob can be turned off. If it can, then do so overnight – don’t make it easy for thieves! In response to the recent rise in car and van thefts in the area we’re asking those who own a car or van with keyless entry to please review your security – consider additional security devices such as mechanical locks and trackers. Did you know that keyless entry cars need software updates? Keep yours secure – ask your car dealer or manufacturer what updates you can take advantage of. If you have a keyless entry car or van, think about how you store your key at home. Keeping your fob out of sight is not enough – thieves only need to get near to the key to amplify the signal. Keep both sets of keys in a container or pouch which blocks the signal from the fob. Over the last couple of months we’ve seen an increase in the number of thefts of keyless entry cars and vans – follow our top tips to keep yours secure: Message Sent By 25.

ACTION FRAUDLonely Hearts Romance Fraudster AlertThe NFIB have become aware of techniques used by romance fraudsters against people using dating sites. Not only will they steal your heart they will steal your money and your identification. When you think you’ve met the perfect partner through an online dating website or app, but the other person is using a fake profile to form a relationship with you. They’re using the site to gain your trust and ask you for money or enough personal information to steal your identity. A dating fraudster, previously involved in deceiving people that wanted a friendship explained how they would create fake accounts with social media platforms so that their details matched and could be searched. By appearing to be a real person their fake persona could be corroborated by prospective partners searching their background and believe them to be genuine. The fraudster said: “People like to live in fairy tales to say it won’t happen to me. I make sure all my conversations are bespoke. I will show insecurity myself about trusting people and this helps allude to them that I’m genuine.” The fraudster will also utilise as many accessible online research tools to explore people’s information for their own personal gain or sell onwards. The fraudster elaborated and explained: “I use various online directories to find out about the person. Once I have enough, I use it to milk everything I can using their details or sell them on to other fraudsters via the dark web” When asked how people could check if a person is real. The romance fraudster offered advice for others searching for a relationship. They told us that after you see a picture of them: “Ask for them to send you another photo of themselves posing with their thumbs up or waving. It’s like a form of 2 factor authentication and makes it hard to do if it’s not an original picture” What you need to do · Avoid sharing too many personal details when on online dating profiles. Revealing your full name, date of birth, or full home address may lead to your identity being stolen. · Never respond to any requests to send money, or have money transferred into your account by someone you don’t know and trust. These types of requests should always raise a red flag. If something feels wrong then it is usually right to question it. · Pick a reputable dating website or app, and use the built-in messaging service. Fraudsters want to quickly switch to social media or texting so there’s no evidence of them asking you for money. Message Sent By 14. February, 2019Latest NewsComments Off on ACTION FRAUD |

ACTION FRAUDHM Revenue and Customs AlertWhat you need to know. Action Fraud has experienced an increase in the reporting of malicious calls, voicemails, text messages or emails to members of the public purporting to be from HMRC. The fraudsters state that as a result of their non-payment of tax or other duty, the victim is liable to prosecution or other legal proceedings such as repossession of belongings to settle the balance but can avoid this by arranging for payment to be made immediately by method such as bank transfer or by iTunes gift cards. If the victim is hesitant or refuses to comply, the suspect makes a threat such as immediate arrest, bailiffs or in cases where the victim appears to be of overseas origin; deportation. Often, the period for which the tax is allegedly due is distant enough to guarantee the victim will have little, if any, paperwork or ability to verify the claims. Once the money is paid the suspects sever all contact. It is vital that the public exercise caution when receiving messages or telephone calls of this nature. What you need to do Listen to your instincts. If something feels wrong then it is usually right to question it. No genuine organisation will ask you to pay taxes, bills or fees using iTunes Gift Cards, or any other type of voucher. Don’t be rushed or pressured into making a decision. Under no circumstances would a genuine bank or some other trusted organisation force you to make a financial transaction on the spot. Report Phishing attempts. If you receive a call, text or email of this nature and have not lost money, report this as a phishing attempt to Action Fraud. Message Sent By 11.

BREW WITH THE CREWGet your brew on!
The North West Air Ambulance Charity is very excited to launch its first integrated fundraising and engagement campaign, Brew with the Crew, during Air Ambulance Week. Built on the northern obsession with drinking large amounts of tea, planning Brew with the Crew brought together teams from throughout the charity. It aims to be an easy activity for people to build into their day, drinking tea with their own crew and raising money for the charity’s lifesaving work. The campaign launches throughout Air Ambulance Week, 10 – 16 September, at North West Air Ambulance Charity (NWAA) shops and other locations in the region. People are asked to hold their own Brew with the Crew the week of 15 – 21 October or throughout the year. Heather Arrowsmith, NWAA Chief Executive, says: “We wanted to build a campaign that brought all of our teams together and involved everyone throughout the organisation. It’s been great to see people working alongside each other. All over a brew, of course!” “Our crew love their brews too but they leave behind thousands of mugs of cold tea a year – not drunk because they’ve been called out on a potentially lifesaving mission. I’m sure the generous people of the North West will take Brew with the Crew to their hearts, just as they have with the crew themselves.” We would love you to join us in having a Brew and raising funds for this fantastic cause.

Best Wishes, Deb Millican The North West Air Ambulance Charity’s helicopters fly 365 days a year, with the doctors and paramedics on board providing rapid treatment and hospital transfers to patients across the entire North West region each year – an area covering 5,500 square miles and 8 million people. Since it launched in 1999, the charity has flown more than 20,000 missions across the region, with the ambulance called out an average of five times a day, rising to ten in summer. Just as many critically injured patients would not survive without the service that the charity provides, the North West Air Ambulance would not be here without the support of its community of fundraisers and partners. The charity is completely reliant on public and corporate donations to keep the North West’s Air Ambulance Charity helicopters operational and helping to save lives, needing to raise over £8 million a year to support its lifesaving service.

THANKS TO OUR GROUNDSMANMost of us will at some time visited a rural historic church, similar to St. Mary’s and noticed in some cases that the burial ground is uncared for. Here in Nether Alderley we are extremely lucky to see that our church, church yard and burial ground are kept in pristine condition. In the burial ground this is mainly due to the hard work put in by Norman Moore, Nether Alderley Parish Council’s groundsman. Many of you will have seen Norman working in the burial ground without really knowing much about him. In April 2018, Norman completed 40th year maintaining the burial ground. Norman, aged 73, has lived in Nether Alderley for 57 years and has served the Parish in many ways, including being Parish Hall caretaker for 35 years and caretaker of Nether Alderley Primary School for 5 years in the 1970s. This was in addition to his work for local farmers. Every Parish would benefit by having a ‘Norman’ and Nether Alderley is very lucky indeed that he is ours. Thank you Norman.

ACTION FRAUDNfib Alert – Bogus Overseas OfficersFraudsters are contacting overseas students and visitors who are in the UK via their mobile phone or social network account and purporting to represent UK or foreign law enforcement. After fraudsters have claimed to work with their respective embassy or government, they tell the victim that there is evidence in the form of forged documentation or parcels which implicate them in a crime such as money laundering, fraud or immigration offences. After demanding further personal details from the victim such as their name, current address and copies of personal documentation, they threaten the victim by suggesting a warrant exists for their arrest which will result in their deportation and imprisonment unless they transfer a payment to them in order to cancel the arrest or pay a fine. Once the money is transferred, all contact between the victim and the fraudster is severed. What You Need To Do: Message Sent By 20. August, 2018Latest NewsComments Off on ACTION FRAUD |

STAKEHOLDER BULLETIN – August 2018Welcome to the latest edition of the stakeholder bulletin with news, information and updates from Cheshire Constabulary on behalf of the Chief Constable and the Police & Crime Commissioner. You are receiving this newsletter as a valued stakeholder. In recent weeks we have experienced high periods of demand on the 101 service which means that people have been waiting longer than normal during peak times. This is a national issue that many other forces are also experiencing but we are pleased to report that the picture has improved in Cheshire. There were a number of reasons behind the increase in demand including the unexpected and prolonged hot weather, repeat calls and the public’s understanding about when to ring 101. A lot of the demand is being driven by the public requesting information or asking for help with issues that the police do not actually deal with such as noise nuisance, dog fouling and fly tipping and these can be addressed by other agencies – including local authorities and housing associations. It is important for people to know that when they do need to speak to the police about a non-emergency issue there are better ways of getting in touch without having to pick up the phone. Although the situation has improved we would like to take the opportunity to highlight the range of options that are available which may provide a quicker and more efficient service than calling 101. These include: Face-to-Face – Visit your local police station/helpdesk or speak to your local Police Community Support Officer. Cheshire has a dedicated PCSO in every ward across the county. They are a vital part of policing and an important connection between the force and local communities providing a familiar face as a point of contact. Details of surgeries are available via the Cheshire Police website. General Contact Form – If you have a general query, are seeking advice or, for example, want to notify the police of a planned event. Go to www.cheshire.police.uk/contact/general-enquiries Contact an Officer Form – This is a quicker way to request to speak to a named officer allocated to your case and is useful for when officers are not on duty. Go to www.cheshire.police.uk/contact/contact-an-officer Incident Update Form – If you want to request an update on an incident go to www.cheshire.police.uk/contact/incident-update-form Local Priorities Form – To report an ongoing issue in your area that you want to highlight as needing action go to www.cheshire.police.uk/local-policing Speeding Issues – For reporting issues with speeding drivers go to www.cheshire.police.uk/advice-and-support/roads-and-vehicle-safety/speeding Other Agencies – Your local authority or housing association deals with issues including noise nuisance, dog fouling and fly tipping. We are making a concerted effort to educate the public to ensure they know that many of their issues can be dealt with more effectively in other ways and it is not always necessary to pick up the phone and call 101. In some cases 101 will be the best option and we will continue to inform people of when it is appropriate to use 101 to give the public a more efficient service and to allow us to deal effectively with crime. The 101 number should be used to report a crime that has already taken place or to pass on information about a crime. The public should always call 999 where there is a threat to life or a crime is in progress. More information is available on our website www.cheshire.police.uk/hereforyou Your support is always appreciated and we would encourage you to spread the word about this important issue via your networks. Thank you, 13. August, 2018Latest NewsComments Off on STAKEHOLDER BULLETIN – August 2018 |

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTScam Alert Important Warning Following Fraudulent ScamsDetectives are urging residents in Cheshire to be vigilant after an elderly woman was scammed out of a large quantity of money. The pensioner from Adlington received a phone call from someone purporting to be from her bank. The person read out her account details and balance and then told her she needed to withdraw her money and gave her a number to ring the force squad. During the conversation he said that her bank had been compromised and not to say anything. The woman was coerced into withdrawing a large quantity of cash from her bank and instructed to hand it over to a courier for safekeeping. Two further elderly residents from Macclesfield and Wilmslow also received two different calls. One call was from a man purporting to be a police officer and the other call was from someone stating the victim had won money from the health lottery. Both were asked to withdraw their money but didn’t fall victim to the scam. Sergeant Keith Graham, of Macclesfield LPU, said: “We are investigating a number of incidents whereby elderly victims are being contacted by criminals involved in fraudulent acts. “Victims are being coerced into believing a number of reasons for why they should withdraw their money. I want to make it clear that no one should withdraw any money from their account if they are asked to do so over the phone. “I urge anyone else who has been targeted by this scam, or other similar scams, to call us on 101 and I also want everyone to follow our advice on how to avoid becoming a victim.” Message Sent By 3.

ACTION FRAUDCourier FraudThe National Fraud Intelligence Bureau has identified an increasing number of reports submitted to Action Fraud from the public concerning courier fraud. Fraudsters are contacting victims by telephone and purporting to be a police officer or bank official. To substantiate this claim, the caller might be able to confirm some easily obtainable basic details about the victim such as their full name and address. They may also offer a telephone number for the victim to call to check that they are genuine; this number is not genuine and simply redirects to the fraudster who pretends to be a different person. After some trust has been established, the fraudster will then, for example, suggest; – Some money has been removed from a victim’s bank account and staff at their local bank branch are responsible. Victims are then asked to cooperate in an investigation by attending their bank and withdrawing money, withdrawing foreign currency from an exchange or purchasing an expensive item to hand over to a courier for examination who will also be a fraudster. Again, to reassure the victim, a safe word might be communicated to the victim so the courier appears genuine. At the time of handover, unsuspecting victims are promised the money they’ve handed over or spent will be reimbursed but in reality there is no further contact and the money is never seen again.

ACTION FRAUDTSB Phishing AttacksThere has been a sharp rise in fraudsters sending out fake text messages (smishing) and phishing emails claiming to be from TSB. The increase in the number of reports corresponds with the timing of TSB’s computer system update, which resulted in 1.9 million users being locked out of their accounts. Opportunistic fraudsters are using TSB’s system issue to target people with this type of fraud. Since the start of May there have been 321 phishing reports of TSB phishing made to Action Fraud. This is an increase of 970% on the previous month. In the same reporting period, there have been 51 reports of cybercrime to Action Fraud which mention TSB – an increase of 112% on the previous month. Fraudsters are commonly using text messages as a way to defraud unsuspecting victims out of money. Known as smishing, this involves the victim receiving a text message purporting to be from TSB. The message requests that the recipient clicks onto a website link that leads to a phishing website designed to steal online banking details. Although text messages are currently the most common delivery method, similar communications have been reported with fraudsters using email and telephone to defraud individuals. In several cases, people have lost vast sums of money, with one victim losing £3,890 after initially receiving a text message claiming to be from TSB. Fraudsters used specialist software which changed the sender ID on the message so that it looked like it was from TSB. This added the spoofed text to an existing TSB message thread on the victim’s phone. The victim clicked on the link within the text message and entered their personal information. Armed with this information, the fraudsters then called the victim back and persuaded them to hand over their banking authentication code from their mobile phone. The fraudsters then moved all of the victim’s savings to a current account and paid a suspicious company. Protect Yourself: Don’t assume an email or text is authentic: Always question uninvited approaches in case it’s a scam. Phone numbers and email addresses can be spoofed, so always contact the company directly via a known email or phone number (such as the one on the back of your bank card). Clicking on links/files Don’t be tricked into giving a fraudster access to your personal or financial details. Never automatically click on a link in an unexpected text or email. Remember, a genuine bank will never contact you out of the blue to ask for your full PIN or password. If you have received a suspicious TSB email, please do not respond to it, report it to us https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_phishing and also forward it to emailscams@tsb.co.uk Every Report Matters. If you have been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, report it to us online or by calling 0300 123 2040. Visit Take Five and Cyber Aware for more information about how to protect yourself online.

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTWarning issued after elderley residents targeted by scamDetectives are urging Cheshire residents to be vigilant after an elderly woman from Runcorn and an elderly man from Chester were scammed out of large quantities of money. They both handed money to a courier for safekeeping after receiving a phone call from a man purporting to be a senior police officer. The so-called officer told them that their savings had been targeted by thieves and were not safe in their bank accounts. Cheshire Police’s advice on avoiding such scams is: • The police will never ask you to become part of an undercover investigation or for you to withdraw money and hand it to them for safekeeping Detective Inspector Glyn Leech said: “We believe that victims are being targeted county wide by this scam, with us investigating reports of people being scammed in areas including Warrington, Chester and Macclesfield. “I urge anyone else who has been targeted by this scam, or other similar scams, to report it to us on 101.” Message Sent By 10.

ACTION FRAUDTV Providers Discount FraudThe National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) have noticed an increase in Action Fraud reports where fraudsters are offering a discount on Television service provider subscriptions. Fraudsters are cold-calling victims, purporting to be from a Television (TV) provider offering a discount on their monthly subscription. Victims have been told the following: their subscription needs to be renewed; that part or all, of the TV equipment has expired and they are due an upgrade on the equipment/subscription. In order to falsely process the discount, the fraudster asks victims to confirm or provide their bank account details. The scammers may also request the victim’s identification documents, such as scanned copies of passports. The fraudsters are using the following telephone numbers: “08447111444”, “02035190197” and “08001514141”. The fraudster’s voices are reported to sound feminine and have an Asian accent. Later victims make enquiries and then discover that their TV service provider did not call them and that the fraudster has made transactions using the victim’s bank account details. This type of fraud is nationwide. Since the beginning of this year (2018), there have been 300 Action Fraud Reports relating to this fraud. From the reports received, victims aged over 66 seem to be the most targeted. What you need to do • Don’t assume a phone call or email is authentic: Just because someone knows your basic details (such as your name and address or even your mother’s maiden name), it doesn’t mean they are genuine. Criminals can exploit the names of well-known companies in order to make their scams appear genuine.

ACTION FRAUDFIFA 2018 World Cup AlertThe 2018 FIFA World Cup will take place from 14th June – 15th July 2018. The worldwide demand for match tickets, flight tickets, and somewhere to stay throughout the competition is expected to be significant. Those planning to travel should exercise caution when considering the purchase of tickets or accommodation because the event is highly likely to be targeted by fraudsters looking to take advantage of unsuspecting fans. Action Fraud received over six hundred reports and intelligence submissions in relation to the previous World Cup so it’s vital that football fans exercise caution when considering a purchase or making a transaction. • Listen to your instincts: If something feels wrong then it is usually right to question it. Fraudsters will use the promise of steep discounts to lure you into handing over your money or revealing personal/financial details. Message Sent By 1.

ACTION FRAUDFraudulent Cryptocurrency Investments and Fake EndorsementsFraudulent websites alleging to offer cryptocurrency investments are dishonestly using the image of Martin Lewis, the founder and editor for moneysavingexpert.com, as an endorsement for their companies. The adverts using Martin Lewis to promote illicit schemes can be found on social media and other websites. Clicking on the advert takes you to the full article where Martin Lewis image is presented along with fake quotes recommending investments in bitcoin and other digital currencies with the fraudulent “company”. Alternatively clicking on the advert will take you to a page where you are required to input your contact details, the suspect company then phones you and encourages you to invest. Martin Lewis has published a warning to the public saying “I don’t do adverts. If you ever see one with my face or name on it, it is without my permission, and usually a scam”. The full article can be found here; https://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2018/03/13/martin-lewis-spread-word-dont-believe-scam-bitcoin-code-bitcoin-trading-ads/?_. Similarly these fraudulent websites are also misusing images and fabricating recommendations from the investors on Dragons Den. These adverts also claim the investors on the panel trade in cryptocurrencies using their services to try and legitimise their company. What you need to do • Don’t assume it’s authentic: Professional-looking websites, adverts or social media posts don’t indicate that an investment opportunity is genuine. Criminals can exploit the names of well-known brands or individuals to make their scams appear legitimate. Message Sent By 14. April, 2018Latest NewsComments Off on ACTION FRAUD |

ACTION FRAUDMagazine Advertise Debt AlertVictims receive a telephone call from someone purporting to be a bailiff enforcing a court judgement, attempting to recover funds for a non-existent debt. The fraudsters state the debt originates from the victim not paying a magazine advertisement subscription. A variety of magazine names and publishers are being used by the fraudsters, who also commonly use the names of certified Bailiff Enforcement Agents such “Scott Davis”, “Stephen King” and “Mark Taylor”. These are names of certified Bailiff Enforcement Agents employed by debt enforcement companies. The fraudsters request that the debt be repaid by bank transfer. If the victim refuses, they threaten to visit the victim’s home or place of work to recover the debt that is owed. Once the money has been transferred, victims are not provided with receipt details of the payment or contact details. Later when victims make enquiries, they’ll discover that the debt did not exist, and often that no advertisement was placed. This type of fraud is nationwide. Since 2017, there have been 52 Action Fraud Reports relating to this fraud. From the reports received, there are a range of different businesses and individuals being targeted. Protection Advice: 1. Listen to your instinct: just because someone knows your basic details, such as your name and address, it doesn’t mean they are genuine. 2.

Lego ‘WeDo’ KitsNether Alderley Primary School PTA launched an appeal to raise enough money to buy a class set of Lego ‘WeDo’ kits, providing pupils the opportunity to design, build and code their own products which would enable them to meet the demands of the design/technology/computing curriculum. The school’s PTA soon reached its provisional target of purchasing ten kits which would enable 20 pupils to work on a project at the same time. The Parish Council is delighted to report that they were able to donate the equivalent of two further kits which would provide a spare kit for the class and an additional kit which would be used by the teacher for demonstration.

Forecourt Changes at Manchester AirportAs passenger numbers have grown, we have increasingly experienced major congestion problems on our Terminal forecourts, made worse by a high percentage of visitors repeatedly recirculating at peak times. Although we have invested in various programmes to increase capacity, as much as possible, we are limited by security issues that restrict how close vehicles can get to the Terminal front. The simple fact is our forecourts were not designed to handle the number of vehicles they do today and do not have the capacity to cope with any further growth in the number of people being dropped-off immediately outside our terminals. 21.

Many people are waiting out the weather at home and some won’t have been able to get out for several days now so a friendly knock from a neighbour is welcome. Maybe they need a pint of milk or a can of beans to get them through to the thaw, or a path swept or their dog walked? Of course your safety is important too – so please think about that and only venture out if you can do so safely. Message Sent By 5.

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTCheshire Policing UpdateIn the past couple of weeks I just wanted to update you with a few matters we have dealt with. Off road motor vehicles have been highlighted as an ongoing issue in locations where they are not authorised i.e. private land, farm land and protected sites and we are targeting those who choose to ride on these locations. We are not encompassing those who legally ride the authorised routes and we encourage those who do, to continue and enjoy the routes to ensure they remain open. We have had plenty of feedback and meetings from off road organisations encouraging our enforcement, to tackle the few who give legitimate rider/drivers a bad name. Therefore we have recently had covert off road motorcycles enforcing in the rural areas, and motorcycle seizures have taken place, where offences have been established. Patrols have been upped in known locations and evidence gathering commenced. From this seven offenders were arrested and accompanying motorcycles seized in an operation in Grimsby, Humberside. This goes to show people will travel far and wide to our area, but all goes to show we in turn will travel to them if they commit offences in our area. Vehicles have been seized/ removed off the roads that are linked to hare coursing and poaching offences. Suspicious vehicles entering the Farms we still want to know about, we have recently successfully linked incidents and enquiries are ongoing to highlighted individuals. Operation Lambswool has been begun reducing livestock attacks and thefts. We have teamed up with Cheshire East Council and Peak District National Park to promote and enforce the issue. We have produced a small number of signs and leaflets should people require. A recent report of a livestock attack was investigated and positively resulted. Thank you 15.

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTFlight Ticket FraudFraudsters are attempting to entice victims who are looking for cheap flights abroad. Victims have reported booking tickets via websites or a “popular” ticket broker, only to discover that after payment via bank transfer or electronic wire transfer, the tickets/booking references received are counterfeit. In some cases, all communications between the company or broker and the victim have been severed. Fraudsters are targeting individuals who are seeking to travel to African nations and the Middle East, particularly those wishing to travel in time for popular public and religious holidays.

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTPhantom Debt FraudAction Fraud has recently experienced an increase in the number of calls to members of the public by fraudsters requesting payments for a “phantom” debt. The fraud involves being cold-called by someone purporting to be a debt collector, bailiff or other type of enforcement agent. The fraudster may claim to be working under instruction of a court, business or other body and suggest they are recovering funds for a non-existent debt. The fraudsters are requesting payment, sometimes by bank transfer and if refused, they threaten to visit homes or workplaces in order to recover the supposed debt that is owed. In some cases, the victim is also threatened with arrest. From the reports Action Fraud has received, this type of fraud is presently occurring throughout the UK. It is important to recognise that there are key differences between the various entities who seek to settle debts or outstanding fees in England and Wales. These differences range from the type of debt they will enforce to the legal powers they possess. To learn more, please take a look at some of the helpful information and links on the Step Change Debt Charity website; https://www.stepchange.org/debt-info/debt-collection/bailiffs-and-debt-collectors-differences.aspx Protect Yourself 2.

The Pride of Nether AlderleyOn Saturday 13th January, 11 volunteers met to undertake a litter pick. They covered Artists Lane, Bradford Lane, Sand Lane, Soss Moss Lane, Chelford Road, Nursery Lane and the Congleton Road. Thirteen bags of litter were collected. As always the most densely littered road was Congleton Road particularly the part that is the A34. In addition, another volunteer had done a litter pick on Welsh Row the previous day. We were surprised by the amount of litter as the last litter pick was only two months previously. The most amusing find was a Captain America toy found face down in a ditch. The weather was very kind to us and we all had an enjoyable time taking in the fresh air! After the litter pick, eight of us went to the Wizard where we had a very chatty lunch. We were told that in future we would get a discount which was very welcome news! Our next litter pick will be on Saturday 3rd March which is during the national litter picking weekend. New volunteers are always welcome but please phone Anne on 01625 582514 so that we know to expect you. 18. January, 2018Latest NewsComments Off on The Pride of Nether Alderley |

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTPolice warn residents following Courier Fraud incidents across CheshireCheshire Police is warning residents across the county not to fall foul of Courier Fraud following reports in Crewe, Nantwich and Chester. Courier fraud is when the offender cold calls the victim posing as an official such as a police officer or a member of a banks fraud team. They will instruct the victim to go to their bank and withdraw money. The offender will claim that they are investigating staff at the bank that they need the victim’s help in some kind of undercover operation, for example they may claim that bank staff are handing out counterfeit bank notes and they need the victim to withdraw money so that it can be examined. The offender will then send a courier to collect the money from the victim. In one recent incident, a Crewe elderly couple were contacted by an offender posing as a Greater Manchester Police Officer. He told the victims that people had been accessing their bank account using blank cards and instructed them to withdraw money which was to be handed to a courier using a password system. DC Liz Rankin said: “Over 5,000 pounds sterling and 2,000 euros was handed over to a man who called at their home. The victims described the offender as about 5’2″-5’3″ with dark skin and straight black hair. He was of slim build and aged around 20-years-old.” If you have any information please contact DC Liz Rankin from Crewe CID on 101 quoting incident number 516 of 4 January 2018. Alternatively information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Here’s some advice on how to avoid the scam: – The police will never ask you to become part of an undercover investigation or for you to withdraw cash and hand it to them for safe-keeping. – Be wary of any calls, texts or emails purporting to be from the police asking for your personal or financial details, or for you to transfer money – If you are approached, or feel something is suspicious, hang up the phone and don’t reply. – Then report it to police on 101, Action Fraud and your bank on their advertised number. Visit www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk for more advice on how to stay safe from scams. Message Sent By: Daniel Millington (Police, Media Officer, HQ Digital Communications)

CHESHIRE POLICE ALERTMessage sent by Some of you may be aware that there is a current scam circulating, for those who don’t, please read on. As always let me know of any that you believe we should know about. Thanks Ric. Farmers Grant Fraud AlertPayment Diversion Fraud Fraudsters who purport to be a trusted senior colleague or established customer may request that you change their direct debit, standing order or amend a bank transfer so that the payment can be diverted to a bank account which is in control of the fraudster. Fraudsters will often make the request under the pretence of a highly sensitive or urgent transaction. Contact is made via phone, letter but most commonly via email (personal or work address) used by the organisation or employee (which has either been spoofed or hacked). The fraudster then provides bank account details into which the monies should be paid. PROTECTION AND PREVENTION ADVICE: 14. December, 2017Latest NewsComments Off on CHESHIRE POLICE ALERT |

Pride of Nether AlderleyThe Pride of Nether Alderley had a successful litter pick on Saturday morning. The weather was very kind to the eight volunteers who picked up litter along Congleton Road, Sand Lane, Welsh Row, Soss Moss Lane, Chelford Road and Nursery Lane. In all eight very heavy bags of litter were collected; mainly bottles, cans and food wrappings but two of the volunteers found used nappies. Afterwards five of the volunteers went to The Wizard for drinks and food. The next litter pick will be on Saturday 13th January 2018 when hopefully much of the undergrowth will have died down. New volunteers are very welcome! If you have a couple of hours to spare and you would like to join us we meet at the Church carpark. 22.
