Loxwood Football Club
(12th January)
Barry Hunter has done such a magnificent job re-building the Loxwood soccer teams into outstandingly successful ones that it is attracting a good deal of attention. The senior squad is almost certain to finish the season with results making them eligible for promotion.
There will be a Mini World Cup there in March – organised directly with local schools as it integrates with learning subjects such as geography, and Loxwood Society will cook BBQ foods from John Murray.
Then on 8th April there’ll be professional soccer training for boys and girls from 6 to 15 there. This time a Midhurst group will provide catering. For more details see this poster

Operation Crackdown
(12th January)
Sussex Police “Operation Crackdown” has established beyond doubt now that use of Crackdown reporting does reduce traffic speeds and bad driving generally. Sporadically too it gives the Police valuable intelligence, but more importantly its regular use encourages the Police to work even better for us! See www.operationcrackdown.co.uk for all the details.

Beware: Free £25 iTunes voucher scam on Facebook.
(30th December)
If you have received a Facebook offer telling you that you have been one of the lucky recipients of the free £25 offer then beware. This is a well timed scam that plays on people's trust of the iTunes brand and love of a bargain. The only gift you will get is a nasty surprise in an email, probably the one containing the supposed iTunes 'gift'. What you will actually receive is a permanent place on a phishing attack list and you will almost certainly be targeted with other email scams. Fraudsters harvest people's email addresses then buy and sell these lists to other fraudsters for scamming purposes.

Council Tax Scam
(7th December)
Chichester District residents are being warned to be vigilant in light of recent incidents involving bogus callers operating along the South coast.
People in Portsmouth and Fareham have already fallen foul of the tricksters, who pose as council officials in bogus telephone calls. They either offer Council Tax refunds or in some cases threaten people with fines. People are then asked for personal and bank details.
The latest scam is to offer a ‘no win – no fee’ service to homeowners who are asked if they wish to appeal against their Council Tax Banding. Chichester District Council is now warning everyone to be vigilant and end any suspect phone call immediately. They should then report any suspicious phone calls, text messages or emails to the Council or the Police.
Any genuine direct phone number given by Chichester District Council would be in the format of 01243 534***. Anyone who doubts the authenticity of a call can contact the Council Tax team on 01243 534501 or email cdccounciltax@chichester.gov.uk .
Councillor John Cherry, Portfolio Holder for Resources at Chichester District Council says, “Scams like this are unfortunately on the increase countrywide and Chichester District residents need to be aware of them. Bogus callers also increase at this time of year, which makes it doubly difficult to know a genuine caller from a bogus one. No council would contact residents in this way and we would certainly not cold call homeowners and ask for their bank details. I would urge everyone to be vigilant and also keep an eye on older relatives or neighbours.”
