Latest Scam Notifications from PCSO O’Brien
Here is a summary of some of the scams currently doing the rounds:
You owe tax: A person calls you from a ‘spoofed’ number – the number displayed is a legitimate HMRC phone number. The call often starts with a recorded message saying that a warrant has been issued for your arrest if you do not pay outstanding tax. An option to speak to someone is given. They will ask you to visit a local shop or Post Office to buy vouchers for iTunes or Google Play or similar. The person then asks for the code on the voucher and tells you that you have now paid the tax and the warrant will be cancelled. This is a scam. HMRC would never call you if you owe tax and would never ask you to buy gift vouchers from a shop.
BT telephone line problems: Many people have received calls from people claiming to be “BT” saying that there is a fault on their telephone line or a problem with their internet. This is the start of a scam. BT would not phone you about your line, they would wait for you to report any issues to them. Please do not give ANY personal details to these callers and simply terminate the call. If they call back, just end the call again.
Police fraud investigation: You are called by someone claiming to be a police officer who is investigating a fraud involving your account. They either ask you to move your money from your bank account or they ask you to assist an investigation by purchasing an expensive item. This is a scam. A police officer would never tell you to move or spend your money. If you think there is a problem with your bank account, it is best to visit your bank or call them on their published number.
These scam calls can be reported directly to Action Fraud – www.actionfraud.police.uk or 03001 232 040 – please note any phone numbers the scammers ask you to call, as this may assist an investigation.
If you do become a victim and a caller arranges to attend your address to collect vouchers or cash, please call police on 101, or 999 if the crime is in progress.

Petition – Save the Pinn Walk In Centre
Over the last 10 years, the Pinn Medical Centre, in Pinner, Harrow, has served over 250,000 local residents, from 8am-8pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, when they have been unwell, as a fast and effective alternative to our already overloaded local Accident & Emergency department.
Harrow CCG are looking to slash funding for this invaluable local resource, to the point where the Pinn Medical Centre may have to close its doors to the local community. Without this precious funding, by the end of the year, the walk in service will probably have closed. As far as we are aware the Harrow CCG is making no extra provision for patients to be seen elsewhere if this service closes. We believe that everyone should have 7 day access when they are ill.
We strongly believe that the residents of Harrow deserve an 8am-8pm Walk in Centre, open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. PLEASE HELP US TO STAY OPEN BY SHARING AND SIGNING THIS PETITION.

Archaeological Dig in Waxwell Lane Car Park.
Some of you might have been wondering this week why large trenches had appeared in Waxwell Lane Car Park.
As part of the planning permission to develop the Car Park, an exploratory dig has been carried out.
For those of you hopping that a distant cousin of Richard III would be uncovered, no such luck!
A few artefacts were recovered but not of great significance.
Members of Pinner Association Committee along with representative from Pinner Local History Society and Pinner Local where given a tour of the site on Wednesday morning by the archaeologist.
Three trenches were dug to a depth of 16” (40cm). The location of the trenches was decided by analysing historic maps.
What we did discover is that there is a lot of clay.
The car park should be back to normal on Monday.
