 Just to remind you to be aware of scam phone calls. We have had reports that local residents have been telephoned by a male or female with a foreign accent who claim that you are entitled to a Council Tax refund. However this is not the case and they are asking for your bank details etc. Please do not become a victim and always check with the company's to see if this is a genuine call.

It has come to our attention in the Thurlby area advertisement posters for Andy's recycling have been put through letterboxes.
Andy is asking for scrap metal and states he will collect it the next day.

On the poster it states he is licensed with the environment agency/council and gives a number of 943984 or EAN 943984.

The police have checked with all councils in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire who state this is not genuine and is very unlikely to come from any council without a surname or a council number present.

Please be very cautious for all leaflets dropped through the door.

Advice if a caller knocks on your door:
1) Keep front and back doors locked (with keys taken out), even when at home.
2) Stop and think if anyone is expected.
3) Look through a spy hole or window to identify the caller.
4) Put the door chain or door bar on first before opening the door, and keep it on whilst talking to the caller.
5) Check their identity card carefully if the caller has a prearranged appointment (close the door whilst doing this).
6) Look up the phone number of who the caller represents in the phone directory, ring to verify the caller's identity. DO NOT use a phone number of the Identity Card, as this may be fake.

Genuine callers will not mind waiting whilst their identities are being verified. If still in doubt, KEEP THE CALLER OUT.

"ICE" In Case of Emergency

The Ambulance Service,  have launched a national 'In Case of Emergency (ICE) campaign with the support of Falklands War hero Simon Weston, following on from the terrorist London Bombings.

The idea is that you store the word 'I C E' in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you want to be contacted 'In Case of an Emergency'

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them.

For more than one contact name input ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc. It could really help to save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
