** Neighbourhood Watch: Fraud & Cyber Crime
------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody is immune from fraud and cyber crime. The criminals behind it target people online and in their homes, often emotionally manipulating their victims before they steal money or personal data.
But there is something we can do. By staying vigilant and always taking a moment to stop, think and check whenever we’re approached by text, email, phone, or online, we can help to protect ourselves and each other from fraud and our accounts from being hacked.
Hertfordshire Police has been running cybercrime and fraud prevention sessions at libraries in main towns and cities. Get advice in person at a library near you:
