Stay safe from courier fraud.

Courier fraudsters will pose as police officers or bank officials in order to gain your trust.

To gain the trust of the victim, the visitor or caller will likely have obtained basic details about the victim such as their full name and address – an effective tactic in deceiving vulnerable individuals.

Fraudsters will go to great lengths, insisting that they are genuine and can be trusted.

Remember:

The Police or your bank will never call and ask you to verify personal information over the phone.

Your bank and the Police will never visit your home and ask you to hand over cash.

Neither the Police or your bank will never ask you to send your bank card, or cash via the post.

Please share this with any family and friends and help us to keep everyone safe from fraudsters.

If you have been a victim or noticed a fraud, you can report to Police on 101/online, or to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
