A message from Nottinghamshire Police about COVID-19 Scams
Dear All,
My name is Kirsty Jackson and I’m one of Nottinghamshire’s Cyber Protect & Prevent Officer’s.
Scammers will play on anything in the media in order to scam people. During an already anxious and uncertain time, scammers use this to create further panic forcing victims to part with their cash. Please see the leaflet link below to see the scams we’re currently aware of. Please note that scammers are always coming up with new ideas to get cash from victims.
We also have our Nottinghamshire police website www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/cybercrime which includes the attached scam leaflet and also allows anyone to go through our Online Safety and Fraud checklists to further improve their Online/Fraud security.
Regards,
Kirsty Jackson

Want something publicising?
Don’t forget, if you have any event or item of interest for the village, just email it to webmaster@suttoncumlound.net and our resident website monitor will do his best to accommodate you. All posts go out to our increasing list of email update subscribers as soon as they’re published.
We also have the Sutton Spotlight, which goes out to every house in the village on a quarterly (ish) basis. Space is sometimes limited, so try to get your entry in early.
We’re also lucky to have a village Journalist who collates news and updates for the Retford Times on a weekly basis. Get your copy in on Monday morning for the Thursday issue.
All our website updates are also sent down the village “X formerly Twitter” feed, @SuttonCumLound. So, follow us there for these and other items in and around our area.
The Parish Council has a Facebook presence for all things of a council nature. Contact the Clerk if you want anything on this feed.
