At our 3rd June meeting, last week, we had a fantastic presentation & talk from Steve Benson-Davison who works in the Police Force Tarian ROCU Unit, in South Wales - Tarian means Shield, in Welsh - the unit is known as Tarian Regional Organised Crime Unit and works in the area of Cyber & Economic Crime that is affecting so many people, nowadays.
Steve told us that last year there there 14 million people affected, in the UK, by these types of crimes and that 70% of the scammers are based overseas. We all learnt, so much - the big slogan now, across the UK, created by the Police is:- "Stop-Think-Fraud"....so, no matter what we are doing, always be suspicious before talking to someone (on the phone), replying to an email or clicking on links, and the such like. We were all very fortunate to be able to take away a book called 'The Little Book Of Big Scams' - it is so informative😊
Our next meeting will take place on Wednesday 1st July and we are all looking forward to Blood Bikes Wales coming along to give us a talk about what they do for us all, in Pembrokeshire and across Wales😊
If you are thinking of joining WI and want to try out a taster session....please just come along, on 1st July - we start at 6.30pm and normally are finished by 9pm. Alternatively, if you'd like a chat with one of our members, beforehand, just private message us and we'll give you a call😊
