NATIONWIDE EMAIL HOAX – POLICE WARNING

Officers are advising the public to be wary of emails purporting to be from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Thousands of people nationwide have been targeted by hoax emails, claiming to be from NICE.

The email informs them that as a result of a recent blood test, cancer was suspected and they should contact their GP. The recipients are advised to download their results from an attached link, which may contain malware that displays a false security warning to entice the victim to buy rogue anti-spyware products.

Inspector Pete Little, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said: “This type of hoax email can be very distressing for the victim.

“Currently, there haven’t been any reports of this hoax to Dorset Police but I would still urge people to be wary of emails of this nature.

“If you receive one, delete it and don’t download the attachment as it is likely to contain malware.

“In any case, email attachments should always be checked carefully.
“Anti-Virus products can help to keep your computer safe and should be used to check your security regularly.
“If you have further concerns, you could always take your computer to a local security specialist.
“We urge people to delete any emails they receive like this and report them to police by calling Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.”

Dorset – Scam Warning – Telephone Preference Service

This is a Community Message from Dorset Police, we thank you for your continued support.

The telephone preference service (TPS) is a valuable resource and is supported by the Dorset Police but recent instances have occurred where members of the public have registered on the TPS website and have later received a telephone call from a person who stated they are responding to the TPS registration and asking for a fee of £39 to complete the registration.

THIS IS A SCAM AND YOU SHOULD NOT PASS YOUR BANK OR CREDIT CARD DETAILS.

If you have been contacted by a person stating they are from the Telephone Preference Service and have paid money for this free service it is strongly advised that you report the incident to ACTION FRAUD on 0300 123 2040 as well as contacting your bank as soon as practical.

Environment Agency – Flood Guidance Statement

Flood Guidance Statement

15:00hrs Thursday 13 February 2014

Abstract from the statement for Dorset:

HIGH flood risk for Dorset for coastal flooding on Friday into Saturday.
Significant and locally severe disruption from coastal flooding is also possible across most of the south coast of England on Friday and Saturday, most especially along the Dorset coastline.
Larger and slower responding rivers such as the Dorset Stour, the River Dee in North Wales and the Great Ouse continue to react to recent rainfall. Impacts may include disruption to transport, flooding of parts of communities.

Coastal / tidal
On Friday and into Saturday, another area of low pressure will bring gales, large waves and a positive surge to the south coast of England. This brings a HIGH flood risk to parts of Dorset, with a high likelihood of severe coastal flooding impacts particularly around Chiswell and Preston Beach. In places coastal beaches and defences remain degraded from recent storms.

Groundwater
Groundwater levels are exceptionally high (at record levels in parts of Wiltshire) across much of the south of England and further rainfall over the coming days is expected to exacerbate disruption from groundwater flooding.

In south Wiltshire and parts of Dorset (communities of Tilshead, Shrewton, Orcheston, Berwick St James and Around Cranborne Chase) localised groundwater flooding is already occurring and there is a low likelihood of significant impacts from groundwater flooding today, bringing a LOW flood risk overall. From Friday onwards, groundwater levels in these areas are expected to rise again in response to recent rainfall, with a medium likelihood of significant impacts in Dorset and Wiltshire leading to a MEDIUM overall flood risk. Impacts may include further flooding to properties and roads in the area, specifically the A35 at Winterbourne Abbas, leading to significant travel disruption.

Surface water
On Friday and Saturday, further heavy rain and bands of showers will fall on very saturated ground across much of England and Wales. In southern parts of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and western parts of Dorset, there is a medium likelihood of significant impacts from surface water flooding on both Friday and Saturday.
