SCAM WARNING

Criminals Targeting People With Universal Credit Scam

Action Fraud has received 63 reports about a scam in which fraudsters target people with offers of “low cost” loans or “free” government grants. What the victims aren’t told is that the money they’ll receive is actually an advance payment for Universal Credit. The criminals use the personal information they’ve obtain under false pretences to make an application in the victim’s name. After the fraudsters have taken their “fee” from the advance payment, the victim is then left to pay back the total amount once their repayments begin.

How you can protect yourself:

• Never share your personal or financial information with someone you don’t know and trust, especially if it’s in response to an offer of “free money” or a “free grant”.
• Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) staff will never approach you in the street or ask for your personal/financial details over social media.
• If you have concerns about your benefits, you should visit    www.gov.uk/contact-jobcentre-plus
• If you suspect your identity may have been stolen, you can check your credit rating quickly and easily online. You should do this every few months anyway, using a reputable service provider and following up on any unexpected or suspicious results.

BACK ON OUR FEET

The Friends of Chiddingfold Surgery would like to extend their heartfelt thanks on behalf of all the Doctors and Staff for all the generous donations received for the Fire Appeal following the terrible fire in January at the surgery.

We have been able to fund the immediate purchase of a spirometer, 2 ambulatory blood pressure monitors and a defibrillator which are already in use at the new temporary home for the surgery at Milford Hospital. Further purchases will be made shortly as the doctors prioritise which of the equipment previously provided by FCS should be replaced immediately before the insurance claim is settled.
We all know that there is an element of uncertainty regarding the settlement of insurance claims and we fully expect that the Surgery will not receive payment in full for the entire extent of its claim when it is finally made. FCS is using the funds from the Fire Appeal to plug this gap now.
Should any funds remain after the insurance monies are received there will always be more equipment to be funded which will keep our surgery at the forefront of providing the first class service we have all become used to.
