Scam Calls

Sussex Police, working in partnership with Trading Standards, would like to advise members of the public that elderly and vulnerable members of the public have been receiving unsolicited telephone calls (cold calling) from fraudsters purporting to be from their banks or the police, indicating that there has been fraudulent activity on their payment card

 

The fraudsters, whilst gaining the trust of the victims will persuade them to impart personal banking information before making arrangements for their cards to be collected via a courier.

 

A variation of the scam occurs where the fraudster informs the victims they need to assist in an investigation of corrupt bank employees by withdrawing cash from their accounts.

Importantly, the fraudster will provide a ‘cover story’ for the victims to present if the transactions are queried at the counter. A courier is then sent to the house to collect the monies

 

Sussex Police is taking action to reduce these offences and protect the most vulnerable members of the community.

If you experience one of these phonecalls please call 101.

Police warning about cold callers offering burglar alarms in Brighton

Police warning about cold callers offering burglar alarms in Brighton

30 January 2014

Police and Trading Standards in Brighton and Hove are warning residents about cold callers offering cheap burglar alarms.

During January police have received reports from concerned local residents about phone cold callers offering alarm or security services. The callers offer the free installation of an alarm box, often claiming that the resident has been selected at random for a free box normally costing thousands of pounds.

Sergeant Chris Lane said; "They sometimes claim some kind of affiliation to the police and that they are working with police as a result of issues with police response times. The 'sales staff' callers are generally quite pushy and will state that they have a member of staff in the area who will attend shortly and fit the box. Once the 'free' box is fitted, residents may then find themselves paying high monthly rates for remote monitoring of the equipment.

"These callers have no affiliation to the police and our advice is to refuse the services of any cold callers via the telephone or in person.

"We have received no reports of anyone actually paying any money yet, but any such approaches should be reported to Sussex Police via 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.ukor Trading Standards."
