The scams are committed using many methods, one of which is using a gift card.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tA number of concerns have been reported recently whereby vulnerable members of our communities have attended at local stores to purchase iTune gift cards in large denominations.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tRegardless of the reason for payment, the scam follows a certain formula: The victim receives a call instilling panic and urgency to make a payment by purchasing iTunes Gift Cards from the nearest store. After the cards have been purchased, the victim is asked to pay by sharing the 16-digit code on the back of the card with the caller over the phone.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tIf someone attends at your store to purchase gift cards in large denominations and you feel they maybe scammed please call 999. We need your help in protecting our vulnerable members residing in our communities.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n<\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SCAM WARNINGS Watch out for these fake TV Licensing emails We’ve seen a sharp increase in reports about fake TV Licensing emails claiming to offer refunds.
