Crime Alert - Scam or Fraud |

Dear Resident,
🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨 We want to make our community aware of a recent telephone scam targeting elderly and vulnerable residents. An elderly lady in our area received a call from someone pretending to be from Lloyds Bank’s Fraud Investigation Team. The caller convinced her to share her banking details, and then attempted to: Take out a £10,000 loan in her name Set up a joint account she had not requested Thankfully, the fraud was detected in time, but this is a stark reminder to stay vigilant. 🔒 Remember: Your bank will never ask for your full PIN or password over the phone. They will never ask you to move money to a “safe account”. If in doubt, hang up and call your bank directly using the number on the back of your card. ✅ Please check in with elderly friends, family, and neighbours to make sure they’re aware of this scam. 📞 If you or someone you know has been targeted, report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040. Let’s keep our community safe. 💙 #ScamAlert #CommunitySafety #PCSO #FraudAwareness #BriggNPT | ||
