Courier Fraud increase!


Do you know who is on the other side of the phone? โ˜Ž๏ธ ๐Ÿšจ 

 

We are seeing a rise in courier fraud ๐Ÿšจ 

 

Criminals are preying on vulnerable victims, pretending to be police officers or banks officials. ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ‘ฎ 

 

Remember, the police or banks will NEVER ask you to transfer or withdraw money, assist with an investigation or buy high value items.  

If you or a family member suspect you're on the phone to a Courier Scammer: 

 

๐Ÿ“ž Hang up the phone 

 

๐Ÿ“ž Donโ€™t give any personal or financial information ๐Ÿ’ฐ 

 

๐Ÿ“ž Wait for the line to clear 

 

๐Ÿ“ž If another phone is available, use that to make a call to a trusted number If you have been victim of courier fraud ๐Ÿ‘‡
