Action Fraud

In short, it is a scam where people are phoning the public and purporting to be from Action Fraud.

The following advice is worth taking note of:
·         Never give personal details over the phone.
·         Report any suspicious phonecalls to your phone company.
·         Consider registering your number with Telephone Preference Service (TPS Online) or 0845 070 0707.

·         Most telephone providers will block anonymous callers.

·         Never give your credit or bank card PIN number out over the phone.

·         This information is never requested legitimately by your bank or the police.

·         If you think something is wrong, hang up the phone.
