The following message has been issued by the webmaster of UKBMD

Message from Ian Hartas, UKBMD.

Hi, this is just a quick note to highlight the need for
caution when accessing the various BMD web sites. The
majority of the site under the UKBMD project all end with
".org.uk". One exception is the Shropshire BMD web site which
is a ".info" site.

Recently the domain name CheshireBMD,com has been registered.
It is nothing to do with the BMD web sites - it's a scam site
set up purely to trap the unwary.

So, as usual the safe and recommended way to access all of
the BMD sites is to have http://www.UKBMD.org.uk/ in your
browser's favourites list and always click on the "Local BMD"
menu button. This way you will always be guaranteed to see
the full list of BMD web sites and that the link from UKBMD
will take you to the correct site.

Thanks Gloria.

As always, if you are ever entering your financial details into a website, make sure that there is a padlock in the address bar (where the www bit is) and that when you click on it, the security of the site is valid.

Never enter personal information if you are not sure

Thanks Mel, it is very easy to carry on without checking.

thanks Gloria
Although I use mostly Lancashire, I do occasionally stray into other counties (suitably inoculated and bearing seasick pills) so I've now added the UKBMD site to my favourites :)
