Bruno
Dear Coordinator
A resident of Victoria Road, N22 received a visit from an 'ill looking' man who said that he had just returned home by taxi after being released from hospital, however his wife was not home and he did not have the money to pay for the taxi, he gave his address which was a little further down Victoria Road. The ill looking man said he was embarrassed to have to ask but could he be loaned the taxi fare. It looked plausible as there was a car waiting outside of the address given, and he did have a hospital tag around his wrist. Cash was given to this man who did not live at the address and was never to be seen again.
Please can you warn as many people as you can of this scam.
Regards
Pauline

Dear Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
I have been asked to pass on to you details of a number of reported incidents involving females of Eastern European appearance who are knocking on doors asking for a pen and paper to leave a note for the person who lives next door. A female will follow you into your house and will leave with a lot more of your property than pen and paper!
Should you receive such a visit please note the description of the person and call the police immediately, do not let anyone enter your property.
