There are a number of scams operating whereby a call is received purporting to be from a Microsoft Support Centre (or other supplier). The calls tend to originate from an Indian based call centre and the caller suggests they are calling to resolve some technical issues that they have identified with your computer and requests the user to follow steps to resolve the problem. These steps are designed to install malicious software/viruses which will enable personal information to be gathered from the computer, or to in some way illicit some form of unnecessary payment. If you receive such a call under no circumstances should you provide any personal information to the caller, neither should you follow any of the steps they ask you to, no matter how insistent they are. Microsoft and other such companies do not make unsolicited calls. There have also been occasions where employees in certain companies have effectively been targeted by callers purporting to be from the IS Department or equivalent and asking for personal information or passwords. Under no circumstances should such information be provided. If you receive such a call, please hang up immediately and do not provide any information. Please ensure you remain vigilant.

Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) are voluntary members of the local community who are appointed by NYPA to visit police stations unannounced to check and report on the welfare and treatment of people arrested and detained in police custody. This is a unique voluntary role as ICVs have random and largely unfettered access to detainees.
The Scheme requires representatives from as wide a variety of backgrounds and sections of the community as possible. No experience is necessary as successful applicants will be fully trained and supported in conducting visits.
ICVs are always made in pairs, at any time during the day and on any day of the week that is convenient to themselves and the ICV they are paired with. Visits usually last one hour on average but this timescale may vary depending on how busy the custody area is at the time of their visit!
ICVs are normally expected to make on average 1 or 2 visits each month to the police station in the area in which they live, so this is an ideal voluntary scheme if you wish to contribute something back to your local community without committing too much time from your work, studying, social or family life. Group meetings are also held four times a year to raise issues and share experiences. We have panels of ICVs in Harrogate, Northallerton, Scarborough, Skipton and York which cover North Yorkshire and the City of York.
If you are age 18 plus, interested in the ICV Scheme and would like to request an information and application pack, please get in touch. Either contact the Scheme Administrator Claire Askew on 01765 641839, email info@nypa.gov.uk or visit the NYPA website www.nypa.gov.uk for more information.
