Operation Callback - Courier fraud alert

🚨 Courier Fraud Alert – Don’t Get Caught Out! 🚨

Metropolitan Police are running Operation CallBack, a project designed to crackdown on courier fraudsters, and raise awareness in the community.

Criminals are contacting people by phone, posing as police officers, bank staff, or trusted officials to trick them into handing over cash, cards, or valuables. They may call you and claim your account is compromised or ask you to help with an “investigation.”

✅ Remember:

Police or banks will NEVER ask you to hand over money, cards, or PINs.

They will NEVER send a courier to collect items from you.

They will NEVER ask you to transfer funds to a “safe account.”

Protect Yourself:

Hang up immediately if you feel pressured or suspicious.

Verify who you are speaking to; Call 159 to speak securely to your bank, or call 101 to verify someone is a real police officer.

Never share personal details, bank information or PINs over the phone.

Report it to Action Fraud: www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040.

📢 Spread the word – protect friends and family, especially older or vulnerable people.
