Scam alert - Shares 2
High Risk Friday 26 June 2009
Problem: Consumers are receiving telephone calls from a company asking
them to invest in some shares.
The caller already has personal information, including dates of birth,
addresses and full names. They ask for driving licence details. The company
then send paperwork (using the name “Pacific Capital Resource Group”,
based in America) asking for bank account details.
Possible Action: This is a scam. Do not give out any personal details
and never give out bank details.

Scam alert - Yahoo Cars
High Risk Friday 26 June 2009
Problem: Car sellers on websites such as Autotrader are advising potential buyers that although the seller lives abroad the buyer can protect their transaction by paying through an alleged “Yahoo Shopping Protection Guarantee” service. The buyer has to transfer the money directly into the “Yahoo representative’s” bank account abroad before delivery of the car. No car is ever delivered.
Possible Action: This is a scam. Be wary of buying high value goods over the internet when the seller is asking for the money upfront.
Could you provide emergency help to your neighbours and others around you?
Do you have a few hours to spare each week, particularly in the day time?
If so come and talk to us about joining our group.
The Loggerheads and Ashley Community First Responders are a group of 20 volunteers who provide emergency help until the ambulance crews arrive after a 999 call. We aim to be available 24 hours a day but to do this we need more members.
Full training is given.

Encouraging your children to read over the summer holidays
The Summer Reading Challenge is massive national promotion of reading for 4-11 year olds organised by The Reading Agency and run locally by Your Library.
The challenge is simple - read six library books over the summer holidays.
By encouraging children to read over the summer break, the challenge aims to overcome the 'summer learning dip' so that your children can go back to school feeling really positive about learning.
About 10,000 children in Staffordshire take part every year!
Youngsters who take part get a challenge membership card and to keep them interested and motivated, for every couple of books they complete, they get themed incentives to take home and keep.
Register at Loggerheads Library
Don't miss out on your chance to take part in this year's Summer Reading Challenge.
Registration starts at Loggerheads Library starts Saturday 11 July
2:OOpm-3:3Opm at
Loggerheads Library join us

help you with your Quest!
Free to all children
taking part in the Quest Seekers
Reading Challenge.
