Pershore Carers Group Safety Talk

This afternoon PCSO Ashley and PCSO Rice attended the Pershore Carers Group at Riverside Centre to talk about Crime Prevention, scams, keeping safe online, home and vehicle security and how to report incidents to the Police or other agencies such as Action Fraud for reporting fraud and cyber crime.  It was lovely to talk to so many people and they asked some very good questions!.  We will be visiting them again in 12 months time where they hope to have even more members joining.

Action fraud is the National Fraud & Cyber Crime Reporting Centre- Cyber crime is when fraudsters target computers, tablets or phones or use the internet to swindle you.  The increased use of electronic devices for everyday activities means that cyber criminals have a wealth of opportunity to commit crime.

You can report to Action Fraud on the phone 0300 123 2040 or visit online at www.actionfraud.police.uk (24hours a day, 7 days a week).

Action Fraud takes reports from victims nationwide which provides a clear picture of the scale of fraud and cyber crime, allowing law enforcement to link crimes which happen across the country.  This kind of intelligence is the key to disrupting cyber crime.

Kind Regards
