Speaker Meeting 14th April 2025: – Claire Bounds Avon and Somerset Police Fraud Protect team.
At our last Speaker Meeting on 7th April we welcomed Claire Bounds Avon and Somerset Police Fraud Protect team. Claire gave us a most interesting and useful talk designed to raise awareness of some of the ever-evolving ways criminals use to scam the public out of hard earned money. The information and advice was to empower us to identify potential frauds and prevent the loss of our valuable data to those intent on stealing it. TAKE FIVE is a national campaign offering straight forward and impartial advice to help people protect themselves from preventable financial fraud. If someone makes you uncomfortable during an unsolicited call, talk to 2 people about it before acting on anything. Fraud Victims are targeted in very sophisticated crimes. There is no blame for the victims. It can happen to anyone, specially if it arises at times
