Neibourhood Watch Update - August 2012

New scams to watch out for.

1)  An email advising that there is a valuable package awaiting shipment to you and asking you to send a shipment fee to get it.

2)  A mobile call from an 'engineer' wanting to test the line and asking you to dial #90 or #09.  This is to gain access to your SIMM card details and make calls on your account.

Cold Calling.

1)  At least two groups are still going round in vans touting for casual work.  One is a group of men in a white transit van reg. no. S---CTC.  The other is a man and a woman in a van reg. no. N209 SBG.  Be very cautious if you are thinking of allowing them to do work for you.

2)  Several other tradespeople (including representatives of a well known home improvements company) are still cold-calling, even though it is now illegal.  If they call, remind them that this is a No Cold Calling Zone and ask them to go away immediately.  If they do not go, you can state that you will now be calling the police.

Neighbourhood Plan

There is to be a Neighbourhood Plan: see Neighbourhood Plan page for more details

Neighbourhood Watch News 24 January 2012

1. There has been a spate of burglaries in the area north of the town centre (ie near us). The burglars are entering mainly through the rear of properties. Please be on your guard and alert Police of any suspicious behaviour.

2. Cold calling has been discussed by Seaford Town Council and it is hoped that a Seaford-wide No-Cold-Calling Zone will be announced in March, probably at the NHW AGM at Cross Way, Steyne Road at 11am on 24 March.

3. There is a possibility that a quarterly newsletter will be published in Seaford Scene, for those who have no email access.
