Scam

Police would like to make you aware there has been an increase in Courier Fraud in the area.

This is typically where a fraudster will phone you, claiming to be a police officer or from your bank, to say your card has been used fraudulently. 

Should you receive a call of this nature, hang up. If you are worried about the call, don’t call back on the same phone. Go to a friend’s house or call a friend to clear the line - the fraudsters can’t impersonate someone you know.

Should you receive similar contact, please report this to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040, or online at www.actionfraud.police.uk
