RE: Be Scam Aware - Don't fall victim

Received a suspicious call? ☎️

A police officer will NEVER ask you to transfer money, purchase vouchers or goods, withdraw cash, or move funds to protect them from criminals.

If you receive a call like this:

✖️ Hang up immediately

⏰ Wait a few minutes, then call 101 to report it

📞 If you’ve lost money, contact your bank and report to Action Fraud at 0300 123 2040

⚠️ Shopping online this Black Friday or Cyber Monday or over the festive season?⚠️

🛍️ Ready to bag an online bargain?

✅ Research sellers to check they're legitimate.

✅ Never pay by bank transfer. Pay with a credit card, if you have one or via a secure payment platform.

✅ Only provide enough details to complete your purchase.
