BOGUS WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS

The Pension Service is advising people to be aware of bogus telephone calls from people claiming you are entitled to an additional Winter Fuel Payment. The Pension Service has received reports from individuals who have received such a call. The bogus caller claims to be from the Department of Work and Pensions and asks for bank details in order to pay the additional payment.

This is not activity from Winter Fuels and therefore we are treating these as bogus calls.

The Pension Service advises customers not to give bank details under any circumstances to anyone calling in relation to Winter Fuel Payments or saying they are from DWP. If anyone has given out information they are advised to contact their bank immediately for further advice.

Bogus Window Cleaner

We have received a report from Staffordshire Police to warn people of a bogus window cleaner currently operating in the Newcastle area. An elderly lady has reported that a man gained access to her home by telling her he was the new window cleaner. Whilst she went to make him a drink he stole £100 from her purse and fled.

He is described as a white male in his 30�s, 5ft 8, slim build and smartly dressed wearing a black suit. Door to door enquires in the area state that a man of this description was carrying leaflets and going from house to house selling windows at or near the time of the incident.

The police believe this could be possibly the same man and if so he appears to be observing any vulnerable elderly people in the area.

Please be on your guard this man could target other areas. You are advised to use your door chain when you answer the door and to ask for ID. If you are unsure do not let the caller into your home and dial 999.

Advance Fee Fraud

Various reports have been issued to warn against a type of fraud commonly know as 'West African' or '419' advance fee fraud. The fraud has been know in many forms but according to the Metropolitan Police the most common scam begins with a letter bearing a Nigerian postage stamp or frank mark; E-mails are increasingly being used as they are harder for Law Enforcement agencies to intercept. The writer, usually bearing the title of Doctor, Chief or General, will explain that a 'mutual business associate' has suggested that the writer confidentially contact the addressee.

The letter goes on to explain one of the many scenarios. However, certain aspects are usually constant:

There is a large sum of money waiting to be paid out of Nigerian Government coffers for a contract that has been completed;
The writer purports to be a Government Official or acting on behalf of or with the knowledge of a top Government Official;
The writer is willing to share the sizeable proceeds initially only for supplying a foreign bank account number to be used for the transfer of funds;
Secrecy is an absolute must to protect all concerned parties from corrupt government officials who would seize the money if they knew of its existence.
More often than not, the name of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) figures prominently in the transaction although they are not involved in any manner. Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) is also often mentioned lending an air of credibility to the woven story again without their knowledge.

The letters are often littered with spelling mistakes and bad grammar. This is a deliberate ploy by the fraudsters to induce the potential victim to believe that he is dealing with uneducated people who would not have the ability to defraud him/her. Nothing could be further from the truth! The majority of victims prove to be professional business people, doctors and lawyers.

At the heart of the scam is the advanced fee aspect. This means that just when the money is about to be transferred some unforeseen difficulty suddenly occurs and fees from the victim are necessary to overcome the problem.

If you receive a 419 letter, DO NOT REPLY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES . The fraudsters have not targeted you personally, 1000�s of these letters are sent out daily to people worldwide whose details have been taken at random from telephone directories etc.

Bogus Callers

The following have been supplied to us by the local Trading Standards Representative, John Poole. They are used by cold callers, burgalrs and other undesirables to communicate to each other about the status of households in targeted areas. They may be chalked on the pavement ouside houses or on telegraph poles and lamp-posts. They have recently been seen in areas of Stafford. Please be aware if you see them in Oulton.
