Todays e mail message from a BJ resident
-
"I had another scam call about "your computer has a problem" today. As soon as I asked for "John" s phone number, the line went dead!"
-
Cold, intrusive telephone calls are NOW a social problem - for all age groups ( but the elderly and vulnerable in particular) Theses unsolicuted intrusive calls are on a steep upward climb
-
Not only is the "cold telephone call " most inconvenient, coming at all times within the day and evenings - they are also most worrying for more and an increasing underlying possibility - the means of checking whether aparticular home may possibly unattended - which could be the signal for a crime (burglary/metal & lead thefts etc)
-
However the greatest possiblity is that they are an opener into a multitude of SCAMS !
-
REMEDIAL ACTION in overcoming these unwelcome calls and consequences is urgently required - We suggest the Service Suppliers CAN & SHOULD provide an effective solution for "barring" this type of call which is now increasing and impinging upon the lives, of every status of individual
-
However we all should all remember, that one way to fight back is to adopt the proactive, personal and neighbourly attitude of our friend who contacted us today and adopt the EYES, EARS & GRAPEVINE attitude as a means of keeping others aware
-
Finally
We thank this particular and all BJ residents who constantly and actively "look out" for others
