A report has been received in relation to a scam where someone has been contacted on the phone by a male purporting to be from the police in London. 

The male has advised that the victim had been scammed and they would send a courier to collect their cards. A male has arrived at the victims address to take the bank cards the next day. 

If you receive unexpected telephones calls, please be cautious. 

·  Never reveal your name, address or financial information over the phone

·  Register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). This will stop legitimate companies from making unsolicited sales and marketing calls to your phone number, so when you receive a call, you'll know it’s a scammer.

·  Install a call blocker for nuisance calls.

·  Make sure to use a different phone or wait for at least 15 minutes before calling a company back on a trusted number. This is because scammers may be able to keep your phone line open even after you’ve hung up.

·  If you are not sure , hang up !
