Bogus E-mails

Just a further reminder of the still bouyant trend of e-mails and letters to members of the public from alleged banks, organisations, lotteries etc in which they request money or personal banking details.

The best advice that can be given is to destroy or delete any such communications as they are bogus ie scams aimed at extricating money either directly from you or through accessing your bank accounts when supplied with personal details.

CSN member reported receiving such an e-mail today alledgedly from the Bank of Montreal. It requests the reader to click an email address link for new security procedure.

If you receive a similar mail message please delete. Under no circumstances release any personal banking details to such an address.

Suspicious Vehicle

White Ford Transit Pick-up UEZ8335 two males on board ( scrap in rear) making similar enquiries from at least two seperate residents of Demiville Avenue Maze BT27 5RE regarding ownership of vehicles parked at that location.

Please be wary of bogus callers and rogue traders. Ensure property locked and secure if left unattended. There have been a number of tool thefts and garage / shed break-ins over the last few weeks in the Lisburn area.
