Beware Crypto Scams

Posted on April 1, 2026 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Crypto scams are on the rise! Don’t let your investment dreams turn into a nightmare, follow our simple tips…

  • Do your research – criminals create fake platforms to imitate genuine investment sites. Search the company on the FCA Firm Checker and beware of poor design, spelling and grammar. 
  • Beware unsolicited approaches on social media or dating platforms about day trading or crypto investment schemes.
  • Beware of ‘early exit’ attempts to move communication from the original platform onto an encrypted platform, such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
  • Beware of continuous pressure to make additional investments, and of messages being sent outside business hours.
  • Be suspicious if you are advised to ignore warning messages from banks & crypto exchanges or being instructed not to tell anyone about a ‘special deal.’

If you think you’ve been a victim, report it to reportfraud.police.uk

Bashed – Bruised – Trolled – Abused

Posted on April 1, 2026 by Roy Gerstner Admin

I never in a hundred years, throught my ‘article’ on the challenges of getting a
‘Community Centre’ would caused so much of an issue or problem…..

Good that it caused debate ….

I’ve had phone called, e-mails, texts & I understand social media posts.
Not one said, well done Roy for all the hours spend researching the ‘challenges’ –
I expected no less.

I will repeat that the article is completely factual – why are some in denial.
In denial” Refers to the psychological defense mechanism of refusing to accept, acknowledge, or believe in the reality of unpleasant facts

I repeat yet again, I have NEVER  said to build anything on the Station Road Recreation Ground.
I repeat yet again, I am 100% in support of getting a ‘proper Community Centre’.
Please I always urge ‘Read All’ before shooting off on social media.

I am always open and transparent and answered ALL the e-mails received.
Talk to me……
I am here – I am 20+ years A Community Activist.
Thank you……

OH Dear – Dear – Dear…..

Posted on March 30, 2026 by Roy Gerstner Admin

The power of social media spreading ‘misinformation‘ – today several ‘commentators’, sent me e-mails with the same theme… That I had advocated building a community centre of the Station Road Recreation Ground.

I have NEVER repeat NEVER said this…in fact I’ve advocated the opposite and stated ‘why’ the SR Rec Ground is unsuitable.

So ‘PLEASE‘ – read ALL and read correctly…..
Thank you,
Roy G…..
