Latest Scam Alert

Dear Resident,

Morrisons scam ad

An advert on Facebook, claiming to be posted by a person whose daughter works at Morrisons, offers a 'family treat box' for just £10 for people over 40.

It goes on to give you a link to fill out a form in order to receive the treat box.

This will lead to a website designed to steal your personal details.

You can report scam ads on Facebook by selecting the three dots in the top right corner and pressing report.

Phishing websites can be reported to the National Cyber Security Centre.

Loft insulation scams

Dodgy unsolicited calls about loft insulation are circulating.

Recipients of such calls have claimed of being asked if they have white fluffy stuff in their loft, told that their property has been identified as having loft insulation that would cause condensation and damp and being offered free loft insulation services.

You can report phone scams on a mobile by forwarding the number to 7726.

On WhatsApp, select the 'i' next to the number, scroll down and press report.

If you have been a victim of a scam, then report it to Action Fraud or by calling 03001232040, alternatively by calling Humberside Police via 101.

Regards,

Brigg NPT
