Dear Resident

We’ve been alerted to reports of fraudsters targeting elderly and vulnerable people in neighbouring counties. 

These con artists usually engage their victims over the phone, often purporting to be from the police or the bank and in need of the victim’s help with an investigation into fraudulent activity on their account. 

They may ask the victim to disclose their card details and pin number or withdraw money from their account ready for them to collect.

They may even pose as an investor and pressure someone into parting with money for a “too good to miss” investment opportunity.  

Keep an eye on vulnerable relatives and remind them…
