Bogus Cricket Agent

Information has come to light regarding a bogus cricket agent. A club in the Midlands has been targeted with a scam purporting to emanate from Sri Lanka. Clubs should be extremely wary, of potential scams.

In this instance an up front payment was requested to ensure all necessary documentation could be prepared, using an address for payment in the USA.

Guidelines on Social Media Abuse

We have heard over a period of time about various instances of abuse using social media sites. The DPP has now issued interim guidelines on when the Crown Prosecution Service should prosecute. Whilst the guidelines are effective immediately, the DPP has set up a consultation period for interested parties to submit their thoughts on the problems.

The consultation period runs until 13th March so if any members wish to comment they can do so either directly or through Conference, who will collate comments and send a suitable response.

To assist member leagues our legal advisor has prepared a briefing note which is available for viewing in the Members Only page.
