Hope none of you experiences this at this festive time.
ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS, PLEASE READ (originated from Alliance Cornhill insurance) Allegedly
Be aware of a new car-jacking scheme. You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside, lock the doors, start the engine and select reverse. You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you shift back into park or neutral, unlock the doors and get out to remove the paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. Your engine was running and you would have left your handbag or briefcase in the car. APART FROM NICKING ANYTHING OF VALUE, THEY MIGHT FIND YOUR ADDRESS AND THEY ALREADY HAVE YOUR KEYS! Remember, if you see your rear view blocked like this just drive away and remove the paper later ! It is stuck to your window!
THIS SCAM IS HAPPENING IN LONDON RIGHT NOW AND WILL SURELY SPREAD TO OTHER AREAS. JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE. IT WILL SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA.

Yeah, and another one, copied from a police drama on ITV - you use a cashpoint, and unbeknowingly, someone marks your coat with a bright coloured dye. Minutes later, you are approached by 'someone' who tells you of the mark on your coat and offers to clean it off. Unbeknowingly, while this is taking place, they're going through your coat pockets. Be careful people.
