Scam Alerts - LatestWe understand some residents have received calls from people claiming to be from the council. The caller is asking residents to provide their bank details so they can provide social care and/or volunteer related payments. Please note we would NOT ask for your bank details and these calls are not from the council. You should not provide your bank details over the phone. If you receive one of these calls, please report it to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133 or it can be reported online.

As well as NHS and social care workers, the permit offer is extended to anyone providing direct support helping unwell and vulnerable people in their communities at this unprecedented time, including emergency service workers, community volunteers, frontline transport workers, and local authority staff.

Local Police Patrols and Advice Update
See the document attached below for information and advice on Local Police Patrols and Coronavirus from Nottinghamshire Police and Rushcliffe south beat team.
Scam Awareness
Nottinghamshire Police are issuing a warning to the local community after a number of reports of telephone calls from scammers impersonating police officers.
The scammers, pretending to be police officers, would normally call the victim and tell them that they're investigating some fraudulent activity on their bank account and then ask them to provide some bank details.
In these latest reports the scammers have asked victims to withdraw cash from the bank and hand it over to a ‘courier’ who comes to their door.
In another report a victim was asked to visit a jewellery shop and purchase an expensive watch to hand over.
Fraud & Cyber Protect Officer Fiona Price was concerned and urged the local community to talk to their friends and family to make them aware. She said: "It's unusual to have such a large report of the same scam in the same area.
"We are keen to let the Nottinghamshire public know and urge friends and family to spread the word about these scam tactics, so they aren't a victim.
"A real police officer would never call a member of the public asking them to disclose personal or financial information and then instruct them to take immediate financial action.
"If you receive a call you're not sure about, always insist on verifying the caller's identity. If you're calling them back, use a number known to be connected to the organisation in question, not the one provided by the caller.
For the police, it's 101 and make sure you insist on talking to the named officer.
"Make this call from a separate telephone line to the one that the call was received if you can. If you don't have one, wait at least 10 minutes before calling on the same line. Legitimate organisations will understand you wanting to make these steps and will not take issue with it.
"They sometimes trick the victim into verifying they are legitimate by calling them back on 999, when they in fact remain on the line the entire time.
"Please continue to spread the word ensuring elderly or vulnerable loved ones and neighbours are aware of these types of scams."
If you believe that you have been called by a bogus police officer, please report the incident to Action Fraud, the UK's national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre, on 0300 123 2040 or via www.actionfraud.police.uk, we cannot respond to direct messages through this platform.
If you think you've lost money through this scam, please call us on 101 so we can preserve evidence as quickly as possible.Image removed by sender.

Coronavirus Care and Reinforcing the Countryside Code
We are fortunate we are able to take our daily exercise in lovely countryside but please be mindful of the comments made by a local resident.
GATES
remember these are hard surfaces on which the vile-virus can sit and wait for you…. and the last person to open the latch may be the one who inadvertently gives you the virus…
It’s suggested to wear or use something disposable to open any gate latch… a small stick then discard it as far from reach as possible, so no-one else then re-uses it, but do try to protect hands from gate latches and bars, as you will then inevitably touch your face almost immediately afterwards, and we know what that can mean…. and do wash your hands well once you get home regardless!
DOGS
as of today it’s now being recommended in some (mainly City) Boroughs that dogs be kept on a lead at all times. Luckily that’s not yet the case here in Rushcliffe other than in their Park areas However please make sure that your hounds are under control at all times, especially as we have lots of folk out walking / riding & also heavily pregnant sheep adjacent in adjacent fields.
But above all a heartfelt plea from the Faeces Fairies
please tidy up after your hound, it’s not a bad dog it’s a bad owner who leaves poo where others may (fear to) tread and please don’t then just hang your poo-bag on a tree, gate or stile, or worse throw it into the canal, put it where it belongs, in your own bin or dog bin “Good Samaritans” are already flat out so please don’t add to their work - thinking the Faeces Fairies will tidy up after you.
Stay safe, enjoy the lovely countryside and please help keep it equally enjoyable for others.
