Residential Frauds & Scams

Resurgence in phone scams

Please can you help with getting advice to elderly family members, neighbours and those in the community? We are seeing a resurgence in phone scams where fraudsters impersonate Police officers claiming a bank card has been used fraudulently and to pass details, or to go to the bank and withdraw cash or transfer to a nominated account as accounts have been compromised. Elderly that are often not on social media are being targeted and it is a group that are difficult to get advice to. Please advise Police would not contact this way and would attend the home address initially so phone requests are scams. If in doubt to call in on 101 to confirm.
