FENNY COMPTON NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
CyberTip - Holiday & Travel Booking - Never pay for
accommodation by bank transfer; even if you are desperate to get away or how
close to the holiday you are booking. Don't advertise the fact that your house
will be empty when you are away by posting on social networking or travel
tracking sites. Some insurance companies are now rejecting claims if homes are
targeted by burglars while the owners are away on holiday and have made
reference to it on social media. More precautions to ensure that you get the
holiday you planned are here: bit.do/holidaybooking
Data Link is a voluntary scheme for anyone
living at home, who might be reassured to know that essential information would
be readily available to the Emergency Services, should they suffer an accident
or sudden illness. The scheme ensures that vital information is available
not only to identify you, but also to advise of relevant illnesses, allergies,
medication and contact addresses. The Data Link pot, which holds your
information, lives in the fridge - you then display a sticker on the inside of
your front door and a second one on the outside of your fridge to indicate its
location. We have a
limited supply of Data Link pots should you know of someone who would benefit.

How secure are contactless card payments?
According to the UKCards Association there have never been any confirmed
reports of money being ‘stolen’ from a contactless card still in a cardholder’s
possession in the UK. Read more: bit.do/Contactless If you are still not
reassured why not use a prepaid card for contactless transactions and only top
it up enough to make a limited number of purchases. The Monzo (monzo.com)
prepaid card is free to use for purchases at home and abroad.
