🚨 Courier Fraud Scams |
||
|
Dear Resident,
🚨Please be aware of the following scam, Courier fraud is when victims receive a phone call from a criminal who is pretending to be a police officer or bank official. 📞 Don’t assume a phone call is authentic just because someone knows your name and address. Your bank or the police will never ring you to tell you they are coming to your home to pick up money or your card. Never hand these over to anyone who comes to collect it.
Need to check if the call is genuine? Contact the organisation directly using contact details you know are correct, such as those on a bank statement, the back of your card, or by calling 159 for your bank
