£400 energy discount scam. You may have received, as I have, an email saying "you are eligible for the £400 GBP non-repayable Energy Bill Support Scheme discount". Implies that have to do something (ends with Proceed now link). However,it is a scam – the address sending is not governmental. And you do not need to apply for the discount..

Cash machine robbery. A member was robbed of several hundred pounds last week outside the GP Surgery in Dartmouth Road by a two man team. They told him that a parking meter warden was nearby and he needed to get a ticket very quickly; and they would "help him ". The darker skinned taller man was wearing a Covid mask the other, shorter man was not, but possibly wearing a yellow jacket. They watched him insert his card at the cash machine and enter his pin number and then vanished with his card , which they somehow palmed, and withdrew the money. When he realised that his card had gone he went to the bank opposite the station and cancelled the card.
