Please remember, a police officer would never ask you to withdraw money and give it to them.

They would also be able to meet you face-to-face and show you ID, and would be happy for you to verify their credentials by calling 101.

If you receive a suspicious phone call then please hang up the phone and report it. Don't feel worried about appearing rude, it is better to be safe than sorry.
