Advisory – Fraudulent Bank E-mails
In light of recent emails being sent to members of the public purporting to be from local financial institutions (Bank of Bermuda, Butterfield Bank) the Bermuda Police Service would like to remind the public that they should not give out any personal information, including account details, to anyone soliciting it on behalf of any financial institution. Any financial institutions they do business with already have these details, and will not request such information from their clients via e-mail. Anyone asking for any such information via this medium should be ignored.
Crime Prevention Advice for Motorists
Avoid leaving cash or valuables in an unattended vehicle (even if secured in a locked car or the glove compartment). Never leave anything of value in plain view.
Always drive with your doors locked and always lock your vehicle (especially your cycle) even if you will only be away for a few minutes. After dark always park in well-lit areas as close as possible to your destination. Approach your vehicle with your key in your hand. If you think that you are being followed by someone in a car or on a cycle, drive to the nearest Police Station or to a place where there are groups of people.
