This caution was shared on a Bisley FB group ...
📷📷📷 .........And so it begins!......
‘Good afternoon I'm calling from the NHS track and trace service. According to our system, you are likely to have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive for
COVID-19. This means that you now need to self-isolate for 7 days and take a COVID-19 test.'
'OK. Can you tell me who that person was?'
'I'm not able to tell you that. That is confidential information.'
'Right. Um... so ....'
'But you do need to be tested within the next 72 hours. So can I just get the best mailing address so that we can send a kit to you?'
'Ok (gives address)'
I just need to take a payment card so that we can finalize this and send the kit to you.'
'Sorry - a payment card? I thought this was all free?'
'No - I'm afraid not. There is a one-off fee of £50 for the kit and test results. Could you read off the long card number for me, please, when you're ready.'
'No - that's not right. This is part of the NHS so there's no charge.'
'I'm afraid there is. Can you give me the card number please - this is very important, and there are penalties for not complying.'
Puts the phone down.
This is how scammers work. And vulnerable people will fall for it.”
Don't fall for it...!

Notice re Covid-19
We hope you are all keeping safe and well and following the advice of the Government's medical advisors as closely as possible.
Many of you will be self-isolating or experiencing difficulties in shopping for or obtaining essential goods and so we would remind you that in Knaphill we have an amazing range of local shops that are still regularly restocked with things you may not be able to get in the bigger supermarkets. Let's try and support our local retailers and trades as much as possible at this time.
We also have a very strong sense of community in this village, so none of you need feel alone. As well as The Knaphillian FB page that we invite you to use to share information and ask for help and that of the Knaphill Community (https://www.facebook.com/knaphillcommunity12/), there is an excellent platform for sharing information and asking for help at the Next Door site: https://nextdoor.co.uk/neighborhood_feed/
A group calling itself Woking Corona Virus Support and Mutual Aid has also been set up on Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/groups/209650690112938/?ref=share)
Its purpose is to help people and share information, so if you are on Facebook and need help or can help other people, join this group please.
For the moment we will be suspending editorial features in The Knaphillian but will be back as soon as possible to share information about the wonderful people of this village and the trades, clubs and services they provide.
Stay safe and well everyone. ... See MoreSee Less

Would you know how to use a public access Defibrillator in an emergency (or even know where to find one)?
The Knaphillian is proud to publish an essential read on finding and using public access defibrillators.
The most common cause of a cardiac arrest is a life-threatening abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF). Ventricular fibrillation happens when the electrical activity of your heart becomes so chaotic that the heart stops pumping and quivers or 'fibrillates' instead. It can sometimes be corrected by giving an electric shock through the chest wall, by using a device called an AED or defibrillator.
AEDs can be used by any member of the public (using a public access defibrillator) and does not require any training as the AED unit will provide self-explanatory voice commands.
