Crime prevention message

 

Dear resident,

Just so you are aware.

If you know for a fact you did not buy anything online or you were not expecting anything to be delivered to you, but your local delivery driver is trying to deliver a packet to you, first check to see if there is a return address on the packet and if there isn’t one you should refuse it straight away.

If the packet was left outside and you open it, there may be a note asking you to scan the barcode. However, under no circumstances should you scan that barcode.

What would happen if you scanned the barcode? All the apps, including any banking apps you may have on your phone, would be downloaded to the person who sent you the package.

Please be very careful when scanning barcodes on flyers or leaflets that may come through your door or if you see them when you are out and about.

 

Please refer to our website for crime prevention advice : Crime prevention advice | South Wales Police (south-wales.police.uk) 

Do you need to speak to the police but don’t require an emergency response?

You can make an online report via our website https://www.south-wales.police.uk, send us a private message via Live Chat, or call 101. In an emergency always dial 999.

 

 

Neges atal troseddau

 

Annwyl breswylydd,
Yn union fel y gwyddoch.
Os ydych chi'n gwybod am ffaith na phrynasoch unrhyw beth ar-lein neu os nad oeddech chi'n disgwyl i unrhyw beth gael ei ddanfon atoch chi, ond mae eich gyrrwr dosbarthu lleol yn ceisio darparu pecyn i chi, gwiriwch yn gyntaf i weld a oes cyfeiriad dychwelyd ar y pecyn ac os nad oes un, dylech ei wrthod ar unwaith.
Os gadawyd y pecyn y tu allan a'ch bod yn ei agor, efallai y bydd nodyn yn gofyn i chi sganio'r cod bar. Fodd bynnag, o dan unrhyw amgylchiadau ni ddylech sganio'r cod bar hwnnw.
Beth fyddai'n digwydd pe baech chi'n sganio'r cod bar? Byddai'r holl apiau, gan gynnwys unrhyw apiau bancio sydd gennych ar eich ffôn, yn cael eu lawrlwytho i'r sawl a anfonodd y pecyn atoch chi.
Byddwch yn ofalus iawn wrth sganio codau bar ar daflenni neu daflenni a all ddod trwy'ch drws neu os gwelwch chi nhw pan fyddwch chi allan.

 

Cyfeiriwch at ein gwefan am gyngor atal troseddau : Cyngor atal troseddau | Heddlu De Cymru (south-wales.police.uk)

Oes angen i chi siarad â'r heddlu ond nid oes angen ymateb brys arnoch?

Gallwch roi gwybod am fater ar-lein drwy ein gwefan https://www.south-wales.police.uk, anfonwch neges breifat atom drwy Sgwrs Fyw, neu ffoniwch 101. Mewn argyfwng, ffoniwch 999 bob amser.
