Scammer Alert

Good afternoon,

We have received a number of reports about scammers pretending to be from South Wales Police's Cyber Crime Unit.

They are claiming that the targets name is included in a data breach and then requesting information.

This is not a South Wales Police Caller.

If you are contacted, please do no pass any personal details.

What to do if you are targeted:

Hang up immediately if you are suspicious

Wait at least five minutes before making any other calls, or use a different phone if possible. Some fraudsters remain connected to the line.

Contact South Wales Police using a trusted number: 101 for non emergencies and 999 for emergencies.

Contact your bank immediately if you have shared financial information or made a payment

Contact Action Fraud and report the incident on 0300 123 2040 or UK's Home for Reporting Cyber Crime & Fraud - Report Fraud

Regards,

Jamie
