Message from Lincolnshire Police Headquarters, Community Safety Department, Monday, 25th February 2014.
Police are warning Lincolnshire residents after two incidents occurred in the county where residents have been victims of a 'Courier Fraud' scam.
On both occasions residents have been contacted on their land line and informed that their bank cards have been used fraudulently. They are then advised to end the call and contact their bank. The offenders are keeping the line open so that when the victim believes they are contacting their bank, they are actually put through to someone else involved in the scam. Victims are then asked to provide their address and PIN numbers and a courier is sent to the address. The victim hands over their bank card and money is immediately withdrawn from their accounts.
Contact Lincolnshire Police Tel 101 (non emergency number) to report any similar incident.
