Neighbourhood Watch Cybercrime Survey Launched Today
I’ve just received this Cheshire Police Alert and it is very much hot on the heels of my earlier Fraud Alert post. This one is a bit time sensitive as it involves taking part in a cybercrime survey. The survey is also hot off the press as it has just been launched today.
Anyway, without any further ado……
Cybercrime Survey
Here’s the article I’ve just received.
“Help us understand the impact of cybercrime and be in with a chance to win £50 worth of M&S vouchers.
Neighbourhood Watch has today launched a landmark new survey to understand the impact of cybercrime on communities across England and Wales.
Traditionally Neighbourhood Watch has been focused on keeping people safe in the places they live. But with the advent of new technology, it’s clear people can be at their most vulnerable when they occupy online spaces.
Action Fraud, the national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre run by the City of London Police, revealed that last year cybercrime victims lost £28m to online criminals. It reports more than 12,000 cases of cybercrime every six months.
With the threat from online criminals only ever increasing, it is essential we understand the impact this type of crime has on members as well as their understanding and perception of cybercrime.
Cybercrime Survey
The cybercrime survey, designed in conjunction with cybersecurity company Avast, takes just 10 minutes to complete and one lucky responder will be in with a chance to win £50 worth of Marks and Spencer vouchers.
The survey can be completed via the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/nw_cybercrime
It would be great if you could share the survey with other Neighbourhood Watch members particularly those who have been victims of cybercrime. This news story on our website can be shared with friends, family and neighbours or on your social media profiles: https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/landmark-cybercrime-survey-launched/

So there you have it. A cybercrime survey for you to participate in. No doubt like all the other Fraud Alerts, this one is very important and, like all the other security alert posts, it should be shared wherever possible.
Oh, nearly forgot. Thanks……yet again to John for this valuable piece. I’ll have to give you your own login details to post directly John as you contribute such a lot of useful information for us all to be aware of.
So, what are you waiting for!!! Get filling in your cybercrime survey. Here’s that link again – https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/nw_cybercrime
