Elderly Targeted by Fake Police Officers

05 Dec 2015 8:09 PM | David Clark (Administrator)

There has recently been a series of incidents whereby fraudsters either phone or attend the home address of elderly members of the public claiming to be police officers. The fake officer/s will claim that they are investigating a fraud which they believe the elderly person to be a victim of. The fake officer/s will then request the bank cards and personal identification numbers (PIN) of the victim and claim these are needed for investigation purposes. If first contact is made by a phone call, the fake officer/s will tell the victim that someone will be over to collect the evidence.
