A couple lost £53,000 to #vishing fraudsters claiming to be from their bank!
The scammers had called Mr Williams on May 10 and used technology to make the number appear as Santander on the phone.
“It is a scam called spoofing,” said Mr Williams who is from Newbridge. “I wasn’t aware of it. These people are professionals. They are very articulate and well spoken.
“They were able to make my phone come up with Santander’s number. When I worked for BT they didn’t have the technology to do that.
“They told me that £15,000 was being taken out of my account by a Stephen King in Dundee. The said they needed remote access.”
Mr Williams got online and had given them remote access to the account – it was then he became suspicious.
“I said to him that nothing had been taken out of the account and he told me they had been pre-authorised to go out the next morning.
“He said they would have to make a J Williams safe account. I thought this wasn’t right so I rang Santander on my mobile.”
The con artist tried to convince Mr Williams not to call saying “customer service won’t be able to help” and it was his specialist department.
When Mr Williams called Santander they confirmed the call wasn’t from them and said they would call him back.
However the clever fraudsters rang him back immediately – this time it was a woman, claiming to be responding to his call.
Once the money was moved they told Mr Williams they would be sending him new passwords and details.
Once he realised he had been conned Mr Williams called the police and bank. However the audacious criminals then rang he again and tried to get more cash.
#TakeFive: Remember, your bank or the police would never ask you to move money to a safe account! https://t.co/jMZqb1MHeH
We would all like to live in peace with our neighbours, but unfortunately that is sometimes not how things work out. Here is what you can do if you are having problems.
Unless a crime has been committed or someone is in immediate danger, the police are unlikely to intervene in neighbour disputes. However, we will put you in touch with the groups and organisations who can help.
Examples:
I am having a dispute with a neighbour about our property boundaries.
If you can not find an amicable solution with your neighbour, we suggest seeking the advice of a solicitor to resolve this. You could also contact your bank, building society, or whoever holds your deeds, to confirm the boundary lines.
The following resources may also be of use:

I am having a dispute with a neighbour about their CCTV camera pointing at my property.
Many people are installing closed circuit television (CCTV) as a home security measure as it has proved to be an effective tool in fighting crime. Cameras used for limited household purposes are not subject to the Data Protection Act 1998. However, if the footage covers areas beyond this, such as neighbouring streets or other properties, problems may arise. There could be issues regarding privacy and harassment if you are being recorded in your home.
In the first instance, speak to your neighbour to see if it is possible to reposition the camera so that it does not point at your property. If this is not successful, and you want to take further action, we recommend seeking legal advice from a solicitor.
