Safer Neighbourhoods - Bank Fraud

A Local Police notice found at Hook Library suggests:

Recently across London a new Bank Fraud crime has been identified. Elderly victims receive a telephone call from suspects purporting to be from the police or victim's bank. Suspects obtain card details from victim and inform them that that their card needs to be collected by a courier. Bank cards are than used fraudulently without the victims knowledge.

PLEASE REMEMBER that the Police or the Bank WILL NEVER:
  1. attend your home
  2. collect your bank card
  3. ask for your PIN number
If you have already given your bankcard or discosed your PIN number, you should call 101
