1) Scammers posing as Neighbourhood Watch representatives have been ringing up householders asking about the security arrangements on their houses. They then use this information for burglary. PLEASE NOTE THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE FROM NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH WOULD RING MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC IN THIS WAY. Anyone wanting security advice, or any other help from NHW needs to approach us, not the other way round.
2) The following email being circulated is FALSE:
This is for Australia phone numbers
REMEMBER mobile phone numbers go public next month
REMINDER all mobile phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls.
YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS
Below is a link where you can enter your phone numbers online to put an end to telemarketing calls: https://www.donotcall.gov.au/
The Telephone Co-ordination Unit has received queries regarding the content of this email.
This has been confirmed as a hoax through Telstra.
The 'Donotcall Register' email address is genuine, the pat about mobile numbers going public is incorrect.
If you receive this email please DON'T forward it. But do feel free to advise the sender that this is a hoax.
