Gedling borough residents warned over rise in courier fraud

Elderly and vulnerable people across Gedling borough are being warned to remained vigilant following a rise in courier fraud.

Courier fraud typically begins with an unexpected phone call from someone claiming to be a police officer or bank employee. Victims are told their account is at risk or that they are assisting with an investigation, before being instructed to withdraw money, purchase items, or disclose sensitive information.

A courier is then sent to collect the items such as jewellery, cash, bank cards and PINs. In reality, this is the work of criminals and anything handed over is lost. It generally targets the elderly and vulnerable people, but it can happen to anyone.

A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: "Keep an eye out and share the advice with any elderly relatives. The police or your bank will never ask you to transfer money to a safe account and they will also never send a courier to your home to collect bank cards, cash, or other valuables such as jewellery.

"If you're ever unsure - stop, challenge, protect."

Report courier fraud online to Report Fraud through their website https://orlo.uk/XLnb6 or call them on 0300 123 2040.

Tell the police what has happened on 101.
