This was the scene on Lefroy Main Road on Wednesday 4th March when Community Development Officer (North) Dave Cleaver arrived at Lefroy to commence work as a Community Liaison Officer in the Public Information Section of the Incident Management Team (IMT).

Community Liaison, during emergencies is an essential role providing communities with support and information during an emergency. Research has shown that informed communities begin the recovery process sooner and achieve better outcomes.

The purpose of the Community Liaison Officer role during major bushfires is to work with stakeholders and affected communities and this can involve:

• Establishing a link between the IMT and affected communities;

• Managing and activating telephone trees;

• Organising and facilitating community meetings;

• Liaising with the community to obtain local knowledge;

• Production of community information;

• Logging issues raised by community members and obtaining responses.

Community liaison is a new area for TFS and the Bushfire Ready Neighbourhoods program in collaboration with State Operations and the TFS regions is working towards taking a state-wide approach to how we engage with communities during bushfires with the aim of aligning community liaison with our six operational priorities.

FROM THE STATE CHAIRMAN

POSTIVE SIGNS FOR NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH TASMANIA

In recent times I have been contacted by various community groups enquiring about Neighbourhood Watch in

their respective areas. It has been very positive to share the new simplified model with these groups and as a result we have three new Watches pending in Southern District and one rejuvenated Watch in Western District. We hope to see this trend continue statewide.

Positive changes too with the engagement of a new Board of Management. The familiar faces of Pat Leary, Waynne Burgess and myself will continue, with three new members joining the Board. I would now like to introduce them to you.

Firstly, welcome to Peter Middleton, Community Development Co-ordinator with the Tasmanian Fire Service. Some of you may recall Peter doing a presentation at our Annual General Meeting 18 months ago. We will welcome his skills in community engagement and the sharing of networks between the two organisations.

Welcome (or in some ways welcome back) to George Bird. Many people will remember the friendly face of George when he was the Community Policing Officer for Eastern District.

We are excited that, in his retirement, George is ready, willing and able to now apply his skills and knowledge to Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania.

We also welcome Lyn Tate, who resides at Shearwater. Lyn works as a Project Co-ordinator with Medicare Local Tasmania and brings a range of skills that we believe will complement the aims and objectives of Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania.

As we go to print, the appointment of one District representative from Southern, Northern and Western Districts is still to be finalised. I will advise these names, when confirmed.

It is also timely to thank those who have given so much to this organisation over many years and have chosen not to continue with representation at State level at this time. They include Malcolm Grant, Deirdre Biggar, Jan Davis, Gerry Bartley, John Martin, Robert Harcourt-White and Ken Geeves. We hope that their friendly faces will continue to be around providing support in different ways. I intend to acknowledge the efforts of these volunteers at upcoming district meetings.

We are currently re-stocking the merchandise cupboard and it was pleasing to be a recipient of a Neighbourhood Watch Australasia grant to assist with this. Coming soon, we will have mini torch key rings, lens cloths, along with teardrop banners, to stand alongside our marquees. Please contact your local Community Policing Officer who will have supplies of these items for distribution at community events. The supply of stickers for children has also been replenished by Tasmania Police, so all of these products should enhance future events.

In September it will be our pleasure to host the Annual General Meeting of Neighbourhood Watch Australasia. National President (and our State Secretary) Pat Leary is looking forward to showcasing our wonderful State to the delegates from all States of Australia and from New Zealand. We hope there will be an opportunity for local members to also be involved.

Board members l-r: George Bird, Wayne Burgess, Lyn Tate,

Jan Dunsby, Pat Leary, Peter Middleton (absent Ant Dry)

FROM THE STATE CO-ORDINATOR

ThinkUKnow Cyber Safety ProgramState Community Policing Services (SCPS) undertook responsibility for the implementation,

development and management of the ThinkUKnow Cyber Safety program.

BackgroundThe United Kingdom Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre developed the ThinkUKnow Program (“the Program”) to raise awareness of Internet safety and security issues. In Australia, ThinkUKnow is licenced to the AFP in partnership with Microsoft. The Program is sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank, Microsoft and Datacom. All Australian State and Territory police services along with Neighbourhood Watch Australasia have now joined this partnership.

ContentThe Program aims to bridge the technological divide that can exist between young people and adults (parents, carers and teachers) by educating adults on how to help young people stay safe online and, by doing so, helping themselves.

Topics covered include:Reputation management, social networking, cyber-bullying, filming of fights, sexting, online grooming, privacy management, scams, fraud, phishing, identity theft, online gaming, inappropriate content, how to protect your devices, how to report should things go wrong.

The Program consists of a 60 minute PowerPoint presentation with videos and audio case studies and the distribution of an information booklet. The Program’s presentations, video and audio case studies, educational material and website content are evidence based and developed in consultation with experts from partner agencies. The presentations are delivered free of charge, by over 300 trained volunteers from the AFP and our partner agencies. Since the Program’s pilot in NSW, Vic and the ACT, in 2009, the Program has delivered over 600 presentations to more than 20,000 people.

Volunteer BaseThere are currently over 500 trained ThinkUKnow volunteers from the AFP, State and Territory Police Services, Neighbourhood Watches, Microsoft and Datacom. Volunteers from Industry (Microsoft, Datacom and Neighbourhood Watch) undergo a Criminal Records check prior to being appointed as a volunteer. Twice a year each partner agency puts out a ‘call for volunteers’ to maintain and increase the volunteer base and respond to attrition.

Performance MechanismsOn an ongoing basis, the Program measures the impact of presentations through paper-based and online surveys. Organisers who booked ThinkUKnow presentations between March 2012 and February 2013 provided the following positive feedback:• 90.6% stated the presentation helped them

“better understand the safety issues around children’s use of the internet and mobile technologies”

• 87.5% stated the presentation has “motivated them to take additional steps to improve the cyber-safety and security of children”

• 92.6% stated they are now “more aware of who I can report to if things do go wrong online”

• 94.1% stated they would “recommend the presentation to another organisation”.

ThinkUKnow has won multiple awards for its role in helping educate the public and addressing community concerns regarding online issues such as fraud, sexting, online grooming, identity theft and cyber bullying.

Through the AFP’s targeted partnerships with industry, the Program has developed a scalable, robust support structure to accommodate future growth and significantly increased numbers of volunteers and presentations.

TasmaniaIn October 2014, 15 officers from Tasmania Police participated in the two day ThinkUKnow training program, delivered by the AFP. These officers are now registered with Datacom and will be receiving bookings via the online booking tool to deliver presentations to school and community groups throughout the state.

There has also been a lot of work done in the background to update our website. Many thanks to Paul Turvey who looks after the website on our behalf, and I look forward to seeing it launched in the near future.

It is a pleasure to be able to report to you lots of

progressive news. I trust this reflects the positive approach of Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania, both now and into the future.

Jan DunsbyState Chairman

FROM THE EDITOR

FAREWELL, Ken, WELCOME, AntSome may well have wondered, if it would ever happen... as they say, he’d been ‘part of the

furniture’ for so long: 40 plus years, a member of Tasmania Police; more than 25, an integral part of Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania.

The author, who’s been a member of the latter for a similar period of time, recalls a meeting of interested civilians and Police Officers at the Campbell Town Hall some 25+ years ago. The purpose of the meeting: to take formal steps towards establishing Neighbourhood Watch as an integral part of crime prevention and community safety in Tasmania. Lunch was provided by the local branch of the CWA.

Towards the end of a relatively short lunch break, the state officer in charge of Community Policing (later Chief Commissioner) announced that the police officers present (District Co-ordinators Ken Geeves, Reg Brown, Tony Grundgeiger, Scott Brooks and one other would be withdrawn from the general company in the Town Hall for a brief meeting at Police HQ in Campbell Town.

Those of us left behind dared not venture far from the Hall because, we understood, the “Neighbourhood Watch’ meeting would resume sooner rather than later. Three quarters of an hour later, the ‘Police component’ returned to the hall and the meeting got underway once again. No explanation as to why the TasPol component of the meeting had been withdrawn!

Little by little thereafter, NHW began life in Tasmania, with Watches springing up in North, South, East and West. One member of Tasmania Police, more recently having reached retirement age and now a dedicated member of the public, has remained constant throughout this multitude of coming and goings between Smithton in the West and Railton in the East; Currie in the north and Queenstown in the south. To say nothing of his contribution to the state organisation -- its meetings, its publications, its fellowship -- over a quarter of a century. I refer, of course, to Ken Geeves.

40 years as a member of Tasmania Police; 25 years as more than a member, rather as a promoter of the ideals and principles of Neighbourhood Watch, Ken has finally handed in his formal commission. Meetings of the State Committee will be the poorer for his absence.No only his high visibility roles in communities throughout Western District but his support for fellow Police Officers in their work of keeping their communities better informed about matters of crime prevention and community safety; his values of sense of community and friendship will be very much missed.

We wish him and Noelle a long and satisfying retirement.

Ken is far from lost from our organisation as he continues to be an active member of the Port Sorell Neighbourhood Watch.

ANT DRYMy wife Yvonne and I arrived in Tasmania from Zimbabwe with our four children in January 2007.We decided that if Australia was to be our new home we must assimilate and become “local” as soon as we could. To this end we became volunteer firefighters, joined our children’s school association, watched local football (which left us totally bewildered), and became involved in as many local activities as we could.

The Natone Neighbourhood Watch, headed at that time by Alan Page, invited us to their first meeting and we made good friends that evening, and have remained members of the watch ever since. The Natone Watch is more than just a neighbourhood watch. It is more a community support / social group. I have been doing the newsletter since December 2007 and took over as Area Co-ordinator in 2011 when Alan retired.

As Area Co-ordinator of Natone I began to attend the Western District NHW meetings. These were always interesting, especially when the Chairman Ken Geeves felt strongly on an issue. Everyone was left fully aware of exactly how he felt!! I took over from Ken when he retired in 2014.

NHW as it stands has to change. It was excellent in its day when crime was more of a problem, but with the crime statistics falling consistently (thanks to the

Ant Dry

excellent work of the Tasmania Police), the public’s view on NHW has changed.

We need to develop the brand into something more of a Community Support Group, something that more people want to become (and stay) involved with. This is what the Natone group has evolved into, and it works well. I’d like to see other groups in the North West Region develop along the same lines.

FROM THE STATE CO-ORDINATOR

Neighbourhood Watch Review by Tasmania Police RecruitsIn the latter part of 2014 members of recruit course 1/2014 were required to research and provide an analysis on the effectiveness of Neighbourhood Watch in Tasmania.

The results of this research have been documented in three papers which have been provided to Neighbourhood Watch for their perusal. It must be noted that the information, findings and subsequent evaluations from the analysis of Neighbourhood Watch are independent of Tasmania Police.

Personnel Changes SCPSDuring late 2014, early 2015 SCPS went through significant personnel changes.

Inspector John Ward was transferred and newly promoted Inspector, Kathy Bennett, replaced him, providing some much needed stability to the unit

In November of last year, Kareena Dalton resigned from her position as the clerical assistant with State Community Policing Services and was replaced by Michelle Kay who is equal to the task.

NORTHERN DISTRICT REPORT

Currently there are 11 active Watches in the Northern District. Three have recently gone into recess and one meets sporadically.

The Watches which are active continue to reach out to their communities, informing them of crime trends and keeping them vigilant about securing their property. All the active Watches still have many volunteers who deliver newsletters in their areas to keep people connected and informed.

The Legana Community Group (incorporating NHW) remains prominent in the Legana area, with a strong community safety focus. The Riverside Watch continues to try to keep connected to the schools in the West Tamar area.

Mowbray Watch has made some changes this year and are now having daytime meetings, still with Harry Barrett at the helm, but with Sandra Hughes and JillStrauss taking on the Secretary and Treasurer roles.

Many thanks are due to these Watches for their enormous efforts which often go unnoticed because the same people have been volunteering for so long and do not seek recognition.

Community Policing continues to promote Neighbourhood Watch, Crime Stoppers and community

safety principles at public events and when workingwith schools and vulnerable and disadvantaged groups within the District.

The Northern District no longer has a District NHW Committee, but Community Policing disseminates information from the State Council to all groups,informing them of crime trends and providing security and general information at relevant times for events and newsletters.

I strongly recommend that NHWT groups regularly access the NHWT website for ideas for promoting Neighbourhood Watch and for remaining relevant and contemporary for current generations.

NHW in Tasmania, including the Northern District, is undergoing considerable changes as numbers decline and some Watches go into recess. The State Councilis addressing these issues with amendments to its constitution to provide for individual memberships, to allow Watches to function less formally, and to distribute their information via email, Facebook, or by reference to the NHWT website.

Southern District met on the evening of 24 November for a tour of the new Glenorchy Police Station, preceded by a meal together where informal discussion considered how we wish to operate in the future.

We thank Inspector Grant Twining for the tour of the Police Station.

Please see separate news article in this magazine.

Late last year we were represented at the Clarence Plains Festival and my thanks go to those who volunteered their time to promote Neighbourhood Watch.

Special thanks to Sen. Const. Steve Rose who also attended the Clarence Plains Festival. His role is much appreciated by all of us, and we thank him sincerely. He was lucky enough to make some new friends at the event, see the photo below, which just has be to titled. May the Force be with you!

WESTERN DISTRICT REPORT

At the Western District committee meeting late last year, the election of office bearers was conducted after deferral from the Annual General meeting.

Ken Geeves (chair) and Leonie Bramich (secretary/treasurer) had indicated previously that they would

not seek re-election. Ant Dry of Natone & Districts was elected to the position of chairperson. There was no nomination for the position of secretary/treasurer.

After many years of loyal and committed leadership Roxley Snare has relinquished the position of Central Wynyard NHW co-ordinator. Roxley is a strong advocate of crime prevention and has been a vocal and effective voice on behalf of Neighbourhood Watch.

Natone and Districts have been involved in a community fundraiser that has resulted in the purchase of an automated external defibrillator (AED) for emergency use on heart attack victims. Burnie City Council provided half the funds and the AED is located at the Natone Fire Station for rapid response if required.

On the 12 December 2014 representatives of Port Sorell NHW attend a ceremony at the new Port Sorell Primary School for the purpose of entombing a time capsule that will be opened in 2064. Ken Geeves wrote a document on the history of Port Sorell NHW and the programme generally for inclusion in the capsule.

At this stage none of the current members of the watch expect be available for the opening ceremony in 2064 (short of a miracle!).

Port Sorell is about to begin free kerbside numbering across the areas of Hawley, Shearwater, and Port Sorell. The watch treasurer Frank Stolp is an experienced external painter and subject to compliance with local government requirements will lead a small team in this project.

As for the oft stated claim that Tasmania is the ‘safest state in the nation’, the Port Sorell watch area recorded over 30 crimes committed in December and January, including but not limited to residential, business, and motor vehicle burglaries. Very worrying.

The Western District NHW committee held its first meeting for 2015 at the Ulverstone Police Station on the 18 of February.

The Western District NHW Committee held its first meeting for 2015 at the Ulverstone Police Station on 18 February. The District meeting in May also saw State President Jan Dunsby, and State Secretary Pat Leary attend to acknowledge the effort of members who have been representatives on the State Committee. They also provided updates of recent progression at State level. As this is the last report penned by me to the state.

Being the last report penned by me to the state body I wish you all the very best for the future.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is currently developing the ABS Address Register, a comprehensive list of all physical addresses in Australia, to support its programme of population statistics, including the Census of Population and Housing.

The ABS is conducting a field canvassing exercise in 2015 to collect address and land use information to inform the ABS Address Register. Although ABS officers will not make contact with residents in private dwellings, they may need to approach businesses to clarify or ascertain additional information. At no stage of this exercise will the ABS be collecting personal information.

If your business has been contacted for address canvassing purposes, you are encouraged to provide the information that the ABS officer has requested. Participating supports the continued production of high quality population statistics by the ABS that assist and inform decision making within governments and community.

If you have any questions regarding the field exercise the ABS is currently undertaking please phone the National Information and Referral Service on 1300 135 070 Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

Yours faithfully,

MERCHANDISENeighbourhood Watch Tasmania was successful in the recent round of funding from Neighbourhood Watch Australasia. This has allowed us to stock the merchandise cupboard.

We now have supplies of keyring torches and lens cloths that can be used to engage with adults at community functions, whilst the children can be given a range of stickers. Contact your local Community Policing Officer for details.

We have also ordered four teardrop banners to be used in conjunction with our marquees or as a stand alone promotion item. These will be stored with our marquees. Again contact the local Community Policing Office to make a booking to use these items.

Senor Constable Steve Rose made good use of one of the banners recently at the Hobart College Careers day.

HADSPEN

The Hadspen Watch has continued to raise funds in the community for their ongoing project to make Hadspen a safer and more welcoming town, by providing seating in the main street for everyone to enjoy. This project has taken several years to complete, with the group working closely with the Meander Valley Council which has assisted financially and with installation work.

Gerry Bartley and John Martin, together with other members of the Watch, have worked continuously over recent years, holding regular stalls to raise funds and awareness about NHW and the importance of connected communities.

NATONE and DISTRICTS

The Watch has been involved in a community fund-raiser which has resulted In the purchase of an automated external defibrillator (AED) for emergencyuse on heart attack victims. The Burnie City Council provided half the funds for the purchase of the AED which is located at the Natone Fire Station for rapid response, if required.

A number of property owners in the district have been advised that a mining company has been granted a permit for possible exploration on their land. Given the angst created in NSW by miners exploring for coal seam gas and the need for more information, Ant Dry has arranged for a mining company Executive to attend a forthcoming meeting of the Watch.

PORT SORELL

On 12 December 2014 representatives of the Port Sorell Watch attended a ceremony at the new Port Sorell Primary School for the purpose of entombinga time capsule which will be opened in 2064. Ken Geeves wrote a document on the history of the Port Sorell Watch and the program generally for intermentin the capsule.

Port Sorell is about to begin a free kerbside numbering scheme across areas of Hawley, Shearwater and Port Sorell. The Watch Treasurer, Frank Stolp, an experienced external painter, will lead a small team in this project. The paint and other materials will be purchased from a significant donation from the Port Sorell Lions Club. This project will be of particular assistance to Emergency Services when responding to calls after dark.

AROUND THE WATCHES(HADSPEN, NEWNHAM, NATONE & DISTRICTS, PORT SORELL)

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH CO-ORDINATORS

By now Watch Co-ordinators will have received the first edition of our revamped regular communication with members. Please feel free to use any of the content in your local Newsletters or just attach your crime report to the NHWT Newsletter.

To receive this Newsletter directly to your inbox, please send an email to [email protected] and we will add you to the list.

NEWNHAM

The Newnham Watch continues its focus on reducing crime in its home and surrounding areas. It has held several car boot sales, with members speaking to community members about home, business and vehicle security issues and handing out relevant crime prevention brochures. The group’s strong membership also enables its Zone Leaders to deliver newsletters and relevant crime prevention material to all homes in the Newnham area.

14


Cam/Somerset Neighbourhood Watch has had a reasonably busy 12 months, its bi-monthly meetings continuing to be held at the Somerset Fire Station. In December 2014, members assisted at the annual Somerset Christmas Parade. A static crime prevention display was set up in the Somerset CBD with combined NHW crime prevention material and Tasmania Fire Service safety information show-bags and lollipops handed out to families and children. This was a popular display with over 150 show-bags handed out to the Somerset Community. The hope: the information contained in the show-bags will promote the NHW and Tas Fire Service safety messages.

Another significant activity in which the Watch was involved was Neighbour Day 2015. On Sunday, 29 March 2015, Cam/Somerset NHW, with assistance from volunteers from the Shorewell Park Kommunity Kids Program, combined with Housing Choices Tasmania, the Salvation Army, Optia, Mission Australia, Building Somerset’s Future group, Fish Care and the Waratah-Wynyard Council to promote Relationships Australia Neighbour Day. This was held on the Cam River Reserve at Somerset. The event was free for the whole community to attend, where families and neighbours enjoyed free food, a jumping castle, face painting, fishing activities provided by Fish Care and lots of other fun recreational activities that brought the Somerset and surrounding community together.

Cam/Somerset NHW members appreciated the assistance of volunteers from the Shorewell Park Kommunity Kids program. Kommunity Kids Volunteers included young people ranging from 12 years of age upwards who assisted with free face painting, handing out NHW information material and with selling raffle tickets for the Cam/Somerset NHW Police Liaison Officer’s Whitelion Bailout Fundraiser. Watch members really appreciated the assistance of these volunteers and will be awarding them each a Cam/Somerset NHW certificate of appreciation.

Neighbour Day is Australia’s annual celebration of community, bringing together the people next door, across

the street or on the next farm for a barbie or just a cuppa. The Neighbour Day organising committee, of which Cam/Somerset NHW was a part, realises that celebrations such as these help build good relationships with others, which can and does change communities. Social connection also makes us feel better as it helps prevent loneliness, isolation and depression, overall improving the lives of people in the local neighbourhood and extended community.

Cam Somerset NHW continues to enjoy the support of volunteer members of the community in attending meetings and assisting in the delivery of the magazine, along with the support of Tasmania Police. The Watch will be celebrating its 21st birthday at its June 2015 meeting.

GLENORCHY’S NEW POLICE STATION

Early on the evening of 24 November last, some 30 plus Watch members of Southern District – several from as far away as Koonya on the Tasman Peninsula – gathered at the Glenorchy RSL for a pleasant evening meal. This was followed by a short walk to the new Glenorchy Police Station on Main Road, Glenorchy – about half way between the Moonah and Glenorchy shopping centres where we, the group, were guests of Insp. Grant Twining.

The new station is a far cry from its predecessor in the heart of the Glenorchy shopping centre -- a two storey

red brick building of the early 20th century -- with no prospects of expansion Into the 21st century.

A guided tour of Tasmania’s newest Police Station then followed - general reception area, briefing areas, interviewing rooms, overnight cell accommodation, …………. with considerable room for expansion, if and when the need should arise.

Insp. Twining was a most genial host: a font of information about policing roles today; in particular, in a locality of ever increasing social and ethnic mix.

COMMUNITY LIAISON – A KEY PART OF INCIDENT

MANAGEMENT

LEFROY BUSHFIRE – MARCH 2015

This was the scene on Lefroy Main Road on Wednesday 4th March when Community Development

Officer (North) Dave Cleaver arrived at Lefroy to commence work as a Community Liaison Officer in the Public Information Section of the Incident Management Team (IMT).

Community Liaison, during emergencies, is an essential role providing communities with support and information during an emergency. Research has shown that informed communities begin the recovery process sooner and achieve better outcomes.



• Managing and activating telephone trees; • Organising and facilitating community meetings; • Liaising with the community to obtain local

knowledge; • Production of community information; • Logging issues raised by community members and

obtaining responses.

Community liaison is a new area for TFS, and the Bushfire Ready Neighbourhoods program in collaboration with State Operations and the TFS regions is working towards taking a state-wide approach to how we engage with communities during bushfires, with the aim of aligning community liaison with our six operational priorities.

There are certainly a few scams doing the rounds of the community at the moment. We include the following information as a means to keep people alert. A recent statistic shared with me mentioned that the most vulnerable victim of scamming is typically a 73 year old female who lives alone. So please make sure you share this information with older members of our community.

Tasmania Police has received a number of complaints from people who have been targeted by this overseas scam and have lost significant amounts of money.

SCAMwatch is warning consumers to be aware of calls from scammers falsely claiming to be from the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) or Australian Tax Office (ATO).

Scammers have recently been calling Australians telling them that there is a warrant out for their arrest. Many people have reported to SCAMwatch that messages have been recorded on their answering machines asking them to call back later. The telephone number provided is 02 6100 3027 and they ask you to call during office hours to discuss the matter further. However, the telephone number has no connection with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, Australian Taxation Office or any other state or commonwealth department.

The scammers may spin a range of stories about why an arrest warrant has been issued, including that you have failed to pay taxes. Scammers typically ask for money to be sent via wire transfer as it’s nearly impossible to recover money sent this way. They may also ask for people’s financial and other personal details to access their money and use this information to commit other scams.

Be on guard, if you receive a phone call from someone saying you have an arrest warrant and asking you to pay a fee, hang up and do not respond. If in doubt, don’t use the contact details provided - look up the government department or organisation yourself in the phone book or online and phone or email them.

BEWARE OF SCAMSHow these scams work:• You receive an unsolicited call from someone

claiming to be from the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions or the Australian Taxation Office.

• The call may sound like it is an automated message with an American accent.

• The caller or sender will claim that you have an arrest warrant for some reason.

• The scammer will ask you to telephone a number that appears to be Australian but is likely to be a VOIP number.

• The number reported is 02 6100 3027. This is not the correct number for the CDPP.

• The scammer will tell you that in order to resolve the matter you will need to pay a fee.

• You may also be asked to provide your bank account details or other personal information so they can confirm they have the right person.

• If you send any money via wire transfer, you will never see it again – it’s nearly impossible to recover money sent this way. You will also never receive the promised rebate or refund.

• If you provide your bank account details or other personal information, the scammer may use it to commit identity theft or to steal your money.

Protect yourself• If you receive a phone call or email from

someone claiming to be from the Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutions or Australian Taxation Office telling you about an arrest warrant, hang up.

• If you receive a message on your phone asking you to telephone 02 6100 3027, delete the message.

• If you have any doubts about the identity of any caller who claims to represent a government department, contact the body directly. Don’t rely on numbers, email addresses or websites provided by the caller – find them through an independent source such as a phone book or online search.

• The CDPP is advising people to be vigilant when receiving phone calls of this nature and if in doubt about the authenticity of a call that you receive from the CDPP, contact them on one of the publicly listed phone numbers or email [email protected].

• Never send any money via wire transfer to anyone you do not know or trust.

• Never give your personal, credit card or online account details over the phone unless you made the call and the phone number came from a trusted source. If you think you have provided your account details to a scammer, contact your bank or financial institution immediately.
