Courier Fraud

Published: 1 Dec 25

Fraudsters are contacting members of the public claiming to be from the Police or in some cases their bank. They inform you that there has been a fraudulent payment made from your bank account, or that you need to withdraw large sums of money or high value items such as watches or gold to help resolve the problem. They will then send a courier to collect the money/bank card or even ask you to transport the money to another location. This is known as 'courier fraud' and is one of the most common types of telephone fraud in Britain. For more information, please click here. Read More...
