WhatsApp Scam
Criminals are targeting WhatsApp users by
posing as a friend and asking for a security
code. The scam begins when a criminal get
s access to another WhatsApp account which
has you listed as a contact. The criminal, posing
as your friend or someone that’s a member of
a WhatsApp group you’re in, will then send you
seemingly normal messages to try and start a
conversation with you. However, around the
same time you will receive a text message from
WhatsApp with a six-digit code. This is because
the criminal has been trying to login to WhatsApp
using your mobile number. The criminal will claim
that they sent you their code by accident and
ask you to help them by sending it to them. Once
the criminal has this code, they can login to your
WhatsApp account and lock you out.
The criminal will then use the same tactic
with your WhatsApp contacts in an effort
to steal more accounts and use them to
perpetrate fraud.
What you need to do:
Set up two-step verification to give an
extra layer of protection to your account:
Tap Settings > Account >Two-step verification > Enable.
THINK. CALL. If a family member or friend
makes an unusual request on WhatsApp,
always call the person to confirm their identity.
Never share your account’s activation code
(that’s the 6 digit code you receive via SMS)
You can report spam messages or block a
sender within WhatsApp. Press and hold on
the message bubble, select ‘Report’ and
then follow the instructions.
If you have been a victim of fraud or cyber
crime, report it to Action Fraud or 0300 123 2040.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency have identified
a confirmed case of Avian Influenza near Bempton.
There is a well-established national contingency plan for
dealing with animal disease, which generally involves
culling the affected livestock and introducing some
animal movement restrictions close by the farm.
Two zones have been set up - a protection zone
(3k from the infected premise) and surveillance zone -
(10k from the affected premise). You may see tha
t Animal Disease Control Zone signs have been placed
on the main roads at the 10k boundary. Your
ward / parish falls within either the 3k or 10k restriction
zones, this link shows the zones
https://defra.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=8cb1883eda5547c6b91b5d5e6aeba90d .
People who own poultry and birds need to take
specific precautions because of the outbreak,
which varies depending on which zone you are in.
There is a requirement to keep all birds housed,
and either to record or prevent poultry movements.
