General - Telephone scam

Telephone Scam

Local CSN member reports having received a telephone call from a person purporting to be from a UK Police Force. This person thanked them for the financial support through advertising donations and requested further money.

The member was aware of a similar "scam call" to a local playgroup (alerted via CSN) some months ago and attempted to identify the caller and their location at which point the caller terminated the call.

Please continue to be aware of bogus calls and callers and of e-mail and postal scams directed at obtaining monies by deception.
