ATM Theft … don’t blink!

ATM Theft … don’t blink or look away or you’ll miss it.

Please have a look at this video (one of may on YouTube) which shows you just how devious ATM scamsters can be.  Please also be aware that the Absa ATM in Simon’s Town, as well as the ATM at the Shell Garage in Simon’s Town are known to be regularly targetted by scamsters out to get your card details.  For the time being we are suggesting that you don’t use either of these ATMs until the relevant banks do something about it.

ALERT: DLH E-mail Scam

DHL Scam

Beware if you get an email supposedly from DHL, with links for you to check up on a pending package delivery.

I received such an email and, without opening the links, I called DHL on 0860-345000 and they confirmed that this  was an attempted spam to obtain  personal details from my computer

NEVER CONNECT TO LINKS FROM AN UNVERIFIED SOURCE

ALERT: Suspicious person at Glencairn Shopping Centre

Simon’s Town Police would like to warn residents and visitors to the Glencairn Shopping Centre about a tall coloured gentleman by the name of Lange!

The police are doing regular patrols in the area and will ask him to move on, but if he’s not doing anything illegal, they can’t do much, except to keep an eye on him!

ALERT: Attempted break-in Glenmarine

For the records, my cottage, which backs on to the mountain, has on two occasions,  been  a target by intruders in the last month.   I was lucky the first time, My little dog became aware of their presence outside and  growled and frightened him away.   I phoned the police and they arrived within minutes armed with torches and searched the property thoroughly.   A few days after that, during the. day, my dogs started barking excitedly at something on the mountain.  I saw two men crawling in the bushes on the other side of my fence.   Once again I phoned the police and they were there within minutes.   I am worried these  people are living on the mountain which is a nature reserve.   Last night, at about 11 pm   I was in bed and heard a noise went to investigate and saw a black man at my window jump down and disappear into the darkness.   I phoned the police who arrived within minutes and they saw that he had been standing on a pot plant at my window and had already broken the pane. 
Now I am really worried.  Any suggestions to offer, dear neighbors.   Perhaps a sensor on the fence would help, before they touch the house.
Thanks for being there for us.  Our police are very caring and I am so grateful for their prompt arrival and action.
Kind regards,
Geraldine
