People are urged to be vigilant as devious fraudsters posing as police officers have been calling residents to try to con them out of money. Five people living within the Cirencester dialling code area, 01285, were targeted by scammers last Monday (March 25).

On each occasion the fraudster claimed to be a police officer from Cirencester police station. The scammers said they were calling to notify the victim that their credit card had been cloned and used at a local supermarket.
