Scam Warning from Community Police

30 September 2020 By Sue

We would like to make residents aware that we have received reports of various scams taking place where a cold caller, email, or automated call claims to be from Amazon or Amazon Prime.

Please be wary of all contact of this type – the scams have varied and include the following:

 

  • an automated call a stating a number should be pressed for various reasons

  • someone in person asking for vouchers to be purchased in a shop and codes to be handed over

  • a request to download an app

  • emails with links attached (to phishing sites)

    All of these are scams and instructions should not be followed, please hang up, don’t give out any personal information or click on any links.

    If you want to check a call is genuine – hang up and contact the company via a reliable source. Please wait ten minutes before making another call or clear the line by phoning a friend/family member.

    If you have any concerns please phone 101 or email 101@dc.police.uk

    If you have fallen victim to a scam, please report this to Action Fraud: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

    Please report any suspicious emails you receive to the National Cyber Security Centre: report@phishing.gov.uk

    Thank you.
