Beware callers posing as police or bank staff
  |
 |
| Since the beginning of the year, three residents in #Herts have received calls from fraudsters posing as police officers or bank staff. The fraudsters convinced one victim to hand over more than £9k. If you receive a call you’re not expecting, you should be suspicious. The vital things to remember are that your bank and the police would: · NEVER ask for your bank account details or PIN number over the phone, so do not disclose these to anyone, no matter who they claim to be. · NEVER ask you to withdraw money and send it to them via a courier, taxi or by any other means. · NEVER ask you to send your bank cards, or any other personal property, to them via courier, taxi or by any other means. If you are not happy with a phone call and are suspicious of the conversation you have with the caller then please end the call and dial 101 or report online. Remember, when reporting a suspicious phone call to police, wait at least five minutes before attempting to make the call to ensure you’re not reconnected to the offender. Alternatively, use a mobile phone or test your landline by phoning a friend or relative first, to ensure you aren’t still unwittingly connected to the offender. For more info visit Action Fraud. Report fraud to @ActionFraudUK on 0300 123 2040. |
