Dear all,
Please be aware that this morning we have received several reports from members of the public advising us that they have had a suspicious phone call.
The person calling will state that they are ringing from a Police Station somewhere in the Country and that they have managed to arrest someone trying to buy an expensive item such as a Rolex watch using that persons debit card.
The person calling state they are an officer and then ask questions such as whether the account is joint etc.
If the person responding provides any answers, they will then ask the person to attend a bank and withdraw money, the person calling will put the phone on hold and will send a courier who is most likely already in the area, to come and pick the money up.
Please be aware this is a scam which Police are aware of and should you receive a call such as this to please report it on 101.
