Have you been asked to buy gold bullion or jewellery on behalf of someone else?
Stop ⚠️ Think ⁉️ Report it to police 👮
We’re urging people to be vigilant after a spate of courier fraud incidents across the south and east of the country, including one in our area where the victim lost more than £1.5m!
Reports show victims have been contacted by criminals purporting to be from the police or the bank, claiming their accounts have been taken over by fraudsters.
Victims have then been coerced to transfer money and/or buy gold bullion and jewellery to aid the investigation, with criminals then posing as couriers to collect these valuable items from their homes.
