Scammer Awareness “Important To Read”
on: October 8, 2023, 17:58

Staffordshire Police say “Beware of Scams“

If you’ve been called out of the blue or get a text offering to help you get your cost of living or energy payments down, it’s likely to be a scam attempting to get your bank details.

You can protect yourself with this quick three-step check:

1. If you’re asked to pay an upfront fee, it could be scam.

2. If you’re asked to pay quickly, it could be a scam.

3. If you’re asked to pay in an unusual way, such as vouchers or money transfer, or asked for your bank details, it could be a scam.

Worried you’ve been scammed?

· If you’re already responded, end all communication immediately.

· Call your bank and cancel any recurring payments.

· Report the scam to the Police Action Fraud service on 0300 123 2040.

If you need further help call the Citizen Advice Scams Action Helpline on 0808 250 5050.
