[NYP Community Messaging ‐ Admin ‐ Veri‐ fying Doorstep Callers] FILEY EASTFIELD & RURAL NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH ASSOCIATION Yorkshire Water have provided a number you can call free of charge to verify the identity of a doorstep caller claiming to represent them. Simply call 0800 1387878 Remember that all electricity, gas and water companies offer a doorstep password scheme. You create the password and when a representative calls they will give you this unique password to confirm they are legitimate. If you haven't already done so we recommend you contact each to set up a password. Choose passwords that are unique and that you will remember. Keep them out of sight but where you can easily find it if needed, close the door first. Continued vigilance and challenge is key to beating doorstep crime. If you aren't sure, don't open the door. NYP Community Messaging ‐ Admin ‐ Fake/Spoof email circulating] An email was sent to us by a concerned NHW member. The email relates to the use of a car seat covered by a blanket being left at the side of a road in order to get cars to stop and the driver being attacked. It also warns of eggs being thrown at the 'windshield' of a car. In both cases it offers advice and says to ring 999.The wording of the email is alarming and would cause concern if it were thought to relate to anything happening across our County. We can confirm that this is a further iteration of many such 'Urban Myths' that frequently circulate across the internet and by email. Whilst there may originally have been some ele‐ ments of truth within these they tend to become very much out of proportion and alarmist. The language in the email also confirms that it is based upon American Urban myth and someone has helpfully changed 911 to 999 for a UK twist. Please do not panic or be concerned. There is no evidence of such criminality or gang culture initiations occurring across North York‐ shire. There has been an increase in the number of older people receiving unsolicited telephone calls from a company called SAS Fire & Security or Crime Research UK offering the installa‐ tion of security systems. There has been an increase in the number of older people receiving unsolicited telephone calls from a company called SAS Fire & Security or Crime Research UK offering the installa‐ tion of security systems. They often claim to be either: ∙from a company fitting security systems linked to the local police∙ offering 4 houses in the road a free security system .from the National Crime Prevention Unit and giving away 4 free alarms in the area∙ from SAS and working in conjunction with the local police∙ offering moni‐ toring alarm systems with a guaranteed response from the police Whilst the alarms are free or a nominal cost of £1 the ongoing maintenance costs are high and there is a cancellation fee. The company call the local police service and request an incident/log number to give the impression that they are authorised by the police to call. This company is being investigated by Scambusters and North Lanarkshire Trading Standards Services obtained an injunction from Edinburgh County Court under Section 217 of the Enterprise Act 2002. The injunction bans the company from using approval of any authorised body including the Police, Government or Local Authority, or from describing the alarm as 'free' or 'gratis', or engaging in aggressive commercial practice. This injunction is also enforceable in England If you receive any calls from Crime Research UK or SAS Fire & Security you are requested to report these directly to Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06 It is recommended that you register with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce cold calls. Not Sure? Don't Open the Door! FOLKTON AND FLIXTON CRICKET CLUB The 2010 cricket season ended with our 3rd XI team finishing mid table in the Derwent Valley League, our 2nd XI team being relegated from the Premier Division of the Beckett League and after a late season improvement our 1st XI also finished mid division. There were some superb batting scores from Ben Elvidge and Neil Elvidge. Neil finished the season scoring 1172 runs, the highest of any player in the York League in 2010 with one match score standing at 205. Ben finished the season on 624 runs which included a not out score of 168 when we beat Ripon by 1 run in a very high scoring game. Our Under 15 Juniors gained promotion to Division ‘B’ of the DV Junior League and we introduced an Under 11 team for the first time this season. These youngsters are coached and introduced to quick cricket by our able and qualified Dads, namely David Hutchinson, Micky Walmsley, John Ward and Robert Lacey. If any parent would like more information for 2011 the please contact David Hutchin- son on 01723 862945 who is the new Junior Secretary. In the evening league the ‘A’ team finished mid table but the ‘B’ team won division ‘D’ and ended up with the only ‘silverware’ for the club. Next season they will play in Division ‘C’ and mention must be made of their captain Jamie Gilmour who led them to victory and in one of the evening league games scored a massive 153 runs. Once again during the winter months we are continuing playing in the Darts and Domino League for Hunmanby and District. We have a decent number of registered players but are always pleased to welcome anyone wishing to play or as a guest just to enjoy an evening of good humoured banter and keep our pavilion ticking over in the winter months. The web site for the cricket club, which can be found at www.folktonandflixtoncc.co.uk has not been kept as up to date as we would wish. It will improve as time allows but keep checking periodically and hopefully you will find something of interest. As many readers of this report will know another of our life members and in fact a founder member Jim Phillips died in March.
