Have you been asked to withdraw cash by the police?
This is a scam.
The police or your bank will never:
- ask for your bank details or PIN
- ask you to transfer or withdraw and handover sums of money
- send a curier to collect your bank cards, cash or PIN
If you are unsure about a call or visitor you have received:
- Don’t give out any perconal or financial information.
- Hang up or close your front door to check the caller’s identity.
- If they phoned you, wait 10 minutes before you use the phone again (or use a different telephone) in case they stay on the line.
- Contact their company yourself or dial 101 for the police – do not call a number they have provided.
- Report suspcious activity straight away.
