9 Oxenford Neighbourhood Watch As the weather starts to cool off a little and we head towards autumn, it’s a great time to check in on your personal, home and community safety. A few simple steps—like locking your doors and windows, checking smoke alarms, keeping your letter box cleared, and keeping an eye out for your neighbours— can make a big difference. Changing Weather Events Severe storms can hit the Gold Coast unexpectedly, so make sure your emergency kit is stocked and up to date and your gutters are clear. If you’re heading out, make sure you check for changing weather conditions, especially if you’re driving on roads that become slippery or walking with unexpected weather changes which can catch you off guard. Email Scams Email compromise scams are a growing issue and can affect anyone in our neighbourhood. These scams often involve criminals pretending to be a trusted person or organisation—such as a bank, business, service provider, or even a neighbour—to trick people into sending money, sharing personal details, or clicking unsafe links. The emails can look very convincing and often create urgency, pressuring you to act quickly before you’ve had time to think. Neighbourhood Watch encourages everyone to slow down and double‑check before responding to unexpected emails, especially those asking for payments, gift cards, login details, or changes to bank information. Always look carefully at the sender’s email address, be cautious of unusual wording or urgent requests, and never click links or open attachments if you’re unsure. If something doesn’t feel right, verify the request by contacting the organisation or person directly using a trusted phone number—not the one in the email. If bank details have changed, please ensure you verify this before making payment, do not use numbers on email, invoice of sms. Use trusted numbers you have saved or google them. Never provide bank details to others. By staying alert and talking about these scams with family, friends, and neighbours, we can help protect each other and keep our community safe.
