Avon and Somerset Police is warning the public to be vigilant after receiving multiple reports of fraudsters contacting people while posing as police officers.
People have reported receiving telephone calls from individuals claiming to be officers from Avon and Somerset Police. In reality, it is a criminal contacting a member of the public, using a ‘spoofed’ phone number to intentionally cover up their real caller ID and instead mirror the phone number of a legitimate organisation.

These scam calls may use AI technology, be automated or from a real person. Their main goal is to trick you into sharing personal information or to transfer money.

See the attached PDF for more information.

Will take place, as usual, this Thursday 22nd from 10am and all are very welcome to come and enjoy coffee and cakes with other villagers and any visitors who drop in!

There will be no Warm Welcome next week however, Thursday 29th, as that is half term week. Our volunteers have a break when the school is on holiday, so the next Warm Welcome after half term will be Thursday 5th November.

Thank you all for your support.
