My daughter had driven along the same road several times earlier in the day and there were no road works. <br><br>Less than a minute later a car with headlights ablaze tried to harass my daughter and her boyfriend in her car by driving dangerously close and trying to force them off the road. Luckily my daughter has heard about this scam before, when criminals will put traffic cones or other objects such as prams in the middle of the road, make you stop (when it is dark) and then rob you. A minute or two later, she pulled into the Feathers pub opposite the main entrance to Cliveden and the car sped off. Unfortunately being so shocked, she did not have an opportunity to take down the number plate of the car. <br><br>If it had been me, I would have stopped to remove the dangerous traffic cone from the road, not realising that this could have been a setup. So please be aware of this potential scam and make sure you don't get robbed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;color:#1E1C1C'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Roger Worthington, Secretary<br>07787556309<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>This mail has been sent to you from the Hitcham and Taplow Society.
