Scam, Safety and Recall Alerts

Twitter_logo_blueWe get many scam alerts and safety and product recall notices. If we posted them all on our website and Facebook page our other posts would be missed among all of the alerts. Instead we have included a number of organisations that provide alerts in a twitter feed shown in the right hand column of our website. Watch this feed for public protection alerts.

The feed currently includes:

  • The UK’s national fraud & cyber reporting centre where you can report, get advice and information. Our advisors reply Mon-Fri 9-5pm with their initials
  • Electrical Safety First (formerly Electrical Safety Council), a UK charity aiming to reduce the number of deaths & injuries caused by electrical accidents
  • The Official Twitter feed for Kent County Council Public Protection. Consumer & business alerts about  #Scams#RogueTraders #MajorIncidents #SevereWeather#Recalls & more.

  • Aiming to bring ALL of the UK product safety notices and recalls together in one place.
  • Save lives and reduce injuries, lead the way on accident prevention.
  • Campaigning to protect elderly and vulnerable people from postal & phone scams.
  • The National Trading Standards eCrime Team: tackles online consumer scams, rip-offs and fraud, as well as those committed by text or email.
