I just watched an interview with the Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood about the prisoners who are to be released early. From what she said, some domestic abusers are being released early because there is no actual offence of domestic abuse. One poor woman was interviewed beforehand and her husband has 2 restraining orders against him but she has received a letter saying he will be released early. It's all down to the original charges as to whether someone is released or not, no matter if he's high risk of offending again. -

I've blocked quite a few numbers and it's been successful in stopping them. This week I've blocked a number but it's still ringing. I'm assuming it's because they are not actually calling from the number being displayed. Is there anything I can do to block them properly? I don't have one of the BT Call Guardian phones, just an ordinary phone. Thanks. -

The owners of TGI Friday’s is selling all UK locations and looking to move to a fully franchise-operated model. The UK owner of TGI Fridays, is selling all 87 locations and transitioning to a fully franchise-operated model Hostmore abandoned a £177 million acquisition plan for a US restaurant chain earlier this month, leading to a 90% drop in its share price It is expected to be wound up and delisted from the London Stock Exchange by the end of the month The sale of TGI Fridays UK outlets might not cover its debts, and it remains unclear if all locations will stay open or be taken over by other chains Despite the upheaval, TGI Fridays’ restaurants continue to operate normally -

https://uk.yahoo.com/news/pay-per-mile-scheme-road-tax-uk-153435046.html If we wouldn't be paying road tax as well then I'd be ok with it as we don't do much mileage per year and doubt we would have to pay more than road tax costs us now (depends, of course, on how much the cost per mile is) It would be hard on rural communities where a car is essential for every day living. Thoughts? -

Posted in: Scams of any type.
Copied from Next Door....... Bromley Trading Standards has issued the following warning: Impersonation fraud warning Bromley Trading Standards is warning residents to continue to be vigilant against impersonation scams and advising everyone how to spot the signs. Impersonation fraud happens when an individual is convinced to make a payment or give personal and financial details to someone claiming to be from a well-known organisation such as the Police, your bank or a service provider, or even someone you trust. Scammers will typically make contact via a phone call, a text, an email, or on social media, appearing to be from a trusted organisation. They may falsely report that the target's bank account is at risk, for example, and instruct that the money be sent to a 'safe account'. If impersonating a friend or family member, the scammer may also ask for urgent help to pay a debt, bill, or other fees. Criminals often invent reasons such as these to ask for money or trick victims into sending money elsewhere. In attempting to reassure people, a common tactic of fraudsters is to advise the resident to call the organisation immediately on their actual number, e.g. from the back of their bank card. The scammer then stays on the line without the person realising so they think they are speaking to the real organisation, when in fact the scammer is still connected. The advice is, if you are asked to send money urgently, always be suspicious, especially if you have been contacted unexpectedly. Remember, as with any scam, fraudsters want you to give them your money or personal and financial information. More advice and information about impersonation fraud can be viewed on the Take Five – Stop Fraud website. To protect yourself from impersonation scams, take note of the following: • Stop and think before clicking on any links or replying to messages. Are these really genuine? Check directly with someone you can trust first. • Your bank or the Police will never ask you to transfer money to a safe account. • If you receive a suspicious call, HANG UP. Contact the real organisation on a trusted number – wait for some time before calling or use a different phone. • Only give personal or financial information to those you have requested to contact you. Report & Assistance Visit the new Get Safe Online Self-Help Tool Centre on the Get Safe Online website Contact your bank if you have given your financial details. Call 159 — Stop Scams UK Contact Citizens Advice for help and advice on 0808 223 1133 or on the Citizens Advice website Report to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or on the Action Fraud website Forward suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk Report suspicious text messages to your phone provider on 7726 Report a suspicious website via the National Cyber Security Centre website You can also visit the scams page on the council website for more information Learn more about impersonation fraud on the Take Five – Stop Fraud website -

Last Saturday my sister rang and said she was on the floor and couldn't get up. We went round to her but could lift her. I rang the fire brigade (which is literally about 3 mins away) and they said they couldn't help in case she was injured and they made it worse. They did say if I couldn't get help within 2 hours I should ring them back. Rang the ambulance but they wouldn't send one - she didn't meet the criteria and was told to ring 111. Rang them and had to go through it all again and then the girl said my sister would have to answer the assessment so I had to put the phone on speaker and relay the questions because she's very deaf. After all that they said a Dr would ring - I didn't need a Dr, I needed help right then. Eventually we somehow managed to get her on a chair and then on to the walker and back to her chair. We waited and waited but no call and she wanted to go to bed. The next day she wasn't in the flat, an ambulance had turned up in the night and taken her in and I found her in A&E late morning. She'd been on a chair all night. No wonder people die after a fall, they are just left there. -
