⚠️ Report Fraud is urging the public to stay alert to telephone scams that spoof Caller ID, following a rise in reports of fraudsters posing as police officers. ❌ The police will never call asking you to transfer money, or share personal/financial info 📞 Unsure if it's really the police calling you? Contact the police on 101 to check. ⛔ Don’t trust the Caller ID display on your phone – it’s not proof of ID. Find out more: cityoflondon.police.uk/news/…

Have you seen a deal online that looks too good to be true? 🤔 Purchase scams are when a criminal creates fake adverts online to encourage you to buy goods that don’t actually exist. Always stop and think. Research the seller before you part with your money and information.
