This is a warning for all scheme mebers on behalf of the Director of the 2011
Census. Please can I ask that this information is disemminated to neighbours,
scheme memebrs or staff.
We are aware that an email entitled 'Population Census: a message to everyone - act now' is being circulated, allegedly in the name of National Statistician, Jil Matheson. This email demands individuals provide further personal information, supposedly for the Census and threatens fines for non-compliance.
This email is a scam and a hoax. It has no connection whatsoever with the National Statistician, the 2011 Census or the Office for National Statistics.
We believe the links in the email could download malware to any computer where the user clicks on the links. This could put your personal data, including financial information, at risk.
Anyone receiving this, or similar emails, should delete them, not open any links and certainly not provide any information.
For more information on how to protect yourself from this type of threat, please see www.getsafeonline.org
If you wish to, please report receipt of any such suspicious emails to www.actionfraud.org.uk
ONS takes the protection of personal census information extremely seriously. Collection of census data was completed last year and no further requests will be forthcoming from the Office for National Statistics relating to the 2011 Census.

This is an all NHW and community member message.
Please can I ask all members to watch out for any vulnerable or elderly residents and warn them to be aware of any cold callers claiming to be contractors. They should always keep the door chain or bar on when talking to unknown callers and ask to see ID and check it carefully. If they are concerned the caller may have been up to no good call 999 immediately.
Secondly, we have had a spate of theft from vans. These occurred in the Calcot area on the 17th January and four occurred overnight the 18/19th January in Hungerford, two in Priory Road, one in Clarks Gardens and one in Atherton Crescent. The offender(s) gained entry by forcing the locks or breaking a window. Tools were stolen. Again, please can we ask that you make aware any residents in your area who own vans that this is happening and where possible they should remove tools from the vehicles? Never leave any item of value on display. If anyone has any information about these thefts please contact the Police Enquiry Centre on 101 and state you are responding to a Ringmaster message.
Lastly, we have also had a spate of vehicle number plates being stolen from vehicles across West Berkshire. In order to protect your property you may wish to consider fixing your licence plates with anti-tamper screws that can be purchased from DIY stores. Again if you do spot anyone tampering with vehicles please call the police immediately on 999.
