Spot the SCAM

Hello all,

We have recently received a report of telephone scammers calling a business attempting to sell brochures adverting their business.

The caller said they were from the police and wanting to thank the business for their support and offered them brochures featuring their business for a fee. The business did not believe the call was genuine and challenged the caller. Once challenged the callers tone changed and the call was ended by the business.

To help protect yourself from scams you can get great information from the Take Five Campaign takefive-stopfraud.org.uk

Please be advised that no police service would call attempting to sell any products.

1 - never disclose your personal information

2 - Don't assume the call is authentic

3 - Don't be rushed or pressured to make a decision

4 - listen to your instincts

5 - stay in control

thank you
