Telephone Scam Advisory
Nassau
County Police have investigated several instances of a telephone scam that
either threatens family members in return for money or indicates that a
loved one has been involved in an accident and is in need of money. In all
of the instances a male caller with a Spanish accent states that a family
member was kidnapped, held hostage or involved in an auto accident and the
victim needs to send money usually through Western Union to save or help the
family member. In 2 of the recent investigations a threat of serious
physical injury against the person being held was used. This information is
being provided to residents to make them aware of this ongoing telephone
scam and to report any similar incidents to the Nassau County Police
Department.
If you believe you may have been a victim of this scam,
please call 516-487-7700 immediately.
Crime Prevention
In order to prevent
burglaries and other crimes of opportunity it is important to be aware of
crime prevention actions we all should be taking. During the winter season
especially, when dusk arrives in the early evening our homes look unoccupied
if we are not using lights on timers. To the burglar, a dark, unlit home at
6:00 pm is an unoccupied home. This is a time of the day a lot of activity
should be taking place in the normal occupied house. A dark house is an
indication the home is vacant. Please understand that the most important
factor in deterring a burglar is to make your home appear to be occupied. If
your home appears occupied he will move on to an easier target. The
following, are ways in which to harden your homes security;
■Put
timers on lighting inside and outside your home. Use interior timers to
establish a pattern of occupancy. A dark house is an unoccupied house.
■Leave a small radio on in a room near the rear entrance. This will
create the illusion of occupancy. Burglars often enter through the rear of a
home. The rear offers cover from being observed and is often quiet. A radio
left on near the rear entrance will easily be heard.
■Keep your alarm
system active and be sure to have an audible alarm activate when a break
occurs in the system. If a burglar hears an audible alarm he usually will
leave the area immediately to avoid being seen and to look for an easier
target.
■Be a good neighbor - Look out for one another and call the
Police Department if you see anything out of the ordinary.
■While on
vacation stop all deliveries to your home. Newspapers and mail left at the
front door are sure signs that your home is unoccupied.
If you see
anything unusual, please call 516-487-7700 and advise our Police Department
of your observations.
As always, please give me a call @516-487-7702
anytime, to discuss anything. I take great pride in being available to all
our residents. If you leave me a message, I will return your call.
