Scam

We would like to make you aware of the following scam which has occurred in your area in recent days.

We have had reports from residents who have received multiple telephone calls from a person claiming to be a detective from The Metropolitan Police who says that they are investigating their card being cloned.  Obviously this has caused distress to the victim who has alerted us.

These fraudsters can be persistent and very convincing. Should anyone receive similar contact, please report this to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040, or online at www.actionfraud.police.uk
