Alert: Courier fraud in north of County
Hello ,
Residents living in the north of the county are urged to be on their guard following a number of reports of courier fraud over the weekend.
A courier scam is when fraudsters call and trick you into handing your cards and PIN numbers to a courier on your doorstep. There are many variations of the scam, but it usually follows this method:
If you receive one of these calls end it immediately, and do not engage with anyone who calls to collect your card or pin.
Protect yourself against courier fraud:
• Your bank will never send a courier to your home
• Your bank and the police will never collect your bank card
• Your bank and the police will never ask for your PIN
Please share this advice with friends or relatives who may not have access to our updates, particularly elderly parents, grand-parents, friends and neighbours.
