Scam Warning – Fake Dpd Emails and Texts

 Scam Warning – Fake Dpd Emails and Texts |
Dear Subscriber, Scam warning: Fake DPD emails and texts. Action Fraud has seen a surge in reports relating to fake emails and texts purporting to be from DPD. The messages claim that DPD was “unable to deliver your parcel today” and provide instructions on how the recipient can arrange another delivery. The links in the emails and texts lead to fake websites that are designed to steal money, as well as personal and financial information. Victims of this scam have reported losing over £242,000 since June. For more information, please visit https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/alert/fake-dpd-messages-lead-to-over-200000-in-losses-since-june How you can protect yourself: If you’re unsure whether the email or text is genuine, then don’t use the link. Instead, visit the DPD website by entering the official web address directly into your browser’s address bar, or search for it and follow the search results. Remember, your bank will never ask you to transfer money to another account, or contact you out of the blue to ask for your PIN or full password. If you have received an email which you’re unsure about, you can report it by forwarding it to report@phishing.gov.uk. You can report suspicious text messages by forwarding them to 7726. For more information about how to protect yourself from fraud and cyber crime, please visit www.actionfraud.police.uk/cybercrime |
Sandbags Gone
All the sand has gone, but there are plenty of sandbags left. If anybody needs any empty bags to fill themselves, they are available: please come to 15 Balland Field to collect them.
Flood Risk Maps
This is an overview from the Environment Agency of the flood risk in Willingham. For more detailed views, enter your postcode at the Flood Warning Information Service.
Sandbags
If anybody has not been in touch but still wants sandbags, empty or full, we will be distributing them at the Public Hall on the High Street from 2pm.
Sandbags Available
The Parish Council has quite a large supply of sandbags, and a smaller amount of sand, available for any parishioners who might need them ahead of the forecast rain this evening.
They can be collected from the Public Hall on the High Street. If you need empty or filled sandbags (obviously the empty bags are easier to transport if you have sand available at home) please contact Cllr Law to arrange a collection time.
