Romford Town Conservatives

	20th March 2012 　 　 WELCOME TO ALERTCOMMS Police Communication to the Community ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------　 　 　 Please be aware that an increasing number of Havering residents have reported that they have been sent a letter indicating that they are due to inherit a sum of money. 　 Whilst there are many variations to this theme, the current apparent scam involves communication from China which indicates that a relative has died and that the recipient of the letter is due to be sent some money. 　 Whilst a direct request for cash may not be made initially once contact has begun this request is likely to be made shortly afterwards. 　 Please be aware that these types of scams are becoming increasingly common and do not let yourself or your relatives become a victim. 　 Should you receive a letter which you suspect is not genuine please contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team or Consumer Direct on 08454 040506. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　 　 　 For further information, please contact your nearest police station: Romford　Police Station Telephone: 101 Opening Hours: 24 hours a day
