Criminals are again impersonating the police and using telephone calls to scare people into revealing their financial details. Typically, you're told that you're being defrauded, and the police are trying to help you, but the calls can sometimes be accusatory, claiming you have been reported for a crime.

Fraudsters impersonate the police to scare you into action by pretending to be a voice of authority. Some statements they typically say are: ‘You’ve been a victim of fraud', ‘Someone reported you’ and ‘You’re going to be arrested'. If you receive a call like this, make sure to not give away any personal information, and maybe consider installing a call blocker to reduce the chances of these calls happening again.
