IS THAT REALLY THE BANK OR THE POLICE?
IS THAT REALLY THE BANK OR THE POLICE?
We know fraudsters are going round impersonating the police and your bank. Never trust any claims you hear which involve you sharing personal information, disclosing bank details, or making payments.
Be extremely wary of unsolicited calls from your bank or the police.
End the call, and call back from a different number. If not possible, wait at least a minute before calling back.
Call the number found on your bank card, or the police on 101.
Check with friends or family. Don’t trust claims by cold callers.
Never share your PIN with anyone.
Never hand over money, bank cards or make purchases following an unexpected call.
REMEMBER
Your bank or the police will never ask for your PIN, bank card, or for you to withdraw money or buy items on their behalf.
