🚨 Fraud & Scam Awareness Event at Millmead Community Centre 🚨

Today, I had the pleasure of attending a Fraud and Scam Awareness Event at Millmead Community Centre alongside PCSO 62750 Terry, working in partnership with a number of local agencies to help keep our communities informed and protected.

The event brought together residents and partner organisations to discuss the ever-growing threat of fraud and scams, providing practical advice on how to recognise and avoid becoming a victim.

💡 A member of the Fraud Team delivered an insightful presentation covering:

📞 Being cautious of unexpected phone calls from unknown or unrecognised numbers.

🔒 Never sharing personal, banking, or security information unless you are certain of the caller's identity.

⚠️ Recognising common scam tactics, such as pressure to act quickly, requests for money, or offers that seem too good to be true.

🌐 Staying safe online and being vigilant when opening emails, clicking links, or responding to messages.

🤝 Knowing where to seek help and how to report suspected fraud.

These events are a fantastic opportunity to engage with our communities, answer questions, share crime prevention advice, and work together to reduce the impact of fraud across our district.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussions today. By staying informed and looking out for one another, we can make it harder for fraudsters to operate in our communities.
