Beware callers posing as police or bank staff

Since the beginning of the year, three residents in #Herts have received calls from fraudsters posing as police officers or bank staff.  

The fraudsters convinced one victim to hand over more than £9k.  

If you receive a call you’re not expecting, you should be suspicious. The vital things to remember are that your bank and the police would:  
·  NEVER ask for your bank account details or PIN number over the phone, so do not disclose these to anyone, no matter who they claim to be.
·  NEVER ask you to withdraw money and send it to them via a courier, taxi or by any other means.
·  NEVER ask you to send your bank cards, or any other personal property, to them via courier, taxi or by any other means.

If you are not happy with a phone call and are suspicious of the conversation you have with the caller then please end the call and dial 101 or report online.    

Remember, when reporting a suspicious phone call to police, wait at least five minutes before attempting to make the call to ensure you’re not reconnected to the offender.  

Alternatively, use a mobile phone or test your landline by phoning a friend or relative first, to ensure you aren’t still unwittingly connected to the offender.

Report fraud to @ActionFraudUK on 0300 123 2040.

Healthcare for the Armed Forces Community: Stories from the Frontline

Healthwatch Hertfordshire has been working with the NHS to hear from the Armed Forces Community about their experiences of healthcare. This includes hearing from veterans, non-mobilised reservists, serving personnel, and families. Our study will provide them with a valuable opportunity to shape how care can be improved for the Armed Forces Community. 

We are continuing to reach out to the Armed Forces Community to give them an opportunity to take part in one-to-one interviews or focus groups. Participants will each receive a £10 voucher for taking part.
