In The Know – Action Fraud – Fake TV Licensing Emails

Comments Off on In The Know – Action Fraud – Fake TV Licensing Emails

An ongoing TV Licensing phishing campaign, first identified by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) in September 2018, continues to be reported to Action Fraud in high numbers. Fraudsters are sending the public fake TV Licensing emails that are designed to steal their personal and financial information. Since April 2018, Action Fraud has received over 900 crime reports with victim losses totalling more than £830,000.

How you can protect yourself:

  • Don’t click on the links or attachments in suspicious emails and never respond to messages that ask for your personal or financial details.
  • Don’t assume a phone call or email is authentic, even if someone knows your basic details (such as your name or address). Remember, criminals can spoof phone numbers and email addresses to appear as companies you know and trust, such as TV Licensing.
  • Your bank will never call and ask you for your PIN, full banking password, or ask you to transfer money out of your account.

What to do if you’ve fallen victim:

  • Let your bank know as soon as possible and monitor your bank statements regularly for any unusual activity.
  • If you suspect your identity may have been stolen you can check your credit file quickly and easily online. Use a reputable service provider and follow up on any unexpected or suspicious results.
  • If you have been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, report it to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk, or by calling 0300 123 2040.

Comments Off on Hornby Flower Club: Thursday 11th April

Please note the date 11th April this is due to the Easter break. 

We look forward to welcoming Tom and Abi who will talk to us about their exciting Halecate Nurseries.

Their mission for the nursery is to grow hardy beautiful plants that will thrive in Cumbria and beyond.

This is what they say : ‘We leapt at the opportunity to take on the site at Halecat in 2009.  We grow 1,000 different flowering perennials much from seed and cuttings taken from our stock beds. Many of the plants we grow are suited for cut flowers and throughout the season we  decorate the tables and counters with the fruits of the garden. Our aim from the outset has been to create a nursery garden and is (we hope) the jewel in our crown’.

Something for everyone and of interest to anyone who enjoys flowers whether in their gardens, cut flowers for a vase or a more structured floral display.  Do come and meet Tom and perhaps get those questions answered.  There will be plants for sale.

All welcome 

Entrance £4.00:              Refreshments and Raffle
