My attention has just been drawn to a potential scam telephone call that appeared to use the 01945 (Wisbech) code. 

Elderly gentlemen receives a telephone call. The caller appeared to be using the telephone number 01945 585993. The caller was an Asian female with a strong accent. The nature of the call appeared to be centred on some kind of IT fault (no further details) A family member present at the time took control of the conversation and when they told the caller that they were having difficulty understanding them, the Asian caller then left the conversation and was replaced by a male voice who quickly ended the call. (No further detail about the Asian accent) 

On balance, this appears to be a scam call in which the local code of 01945 was being used.

I personally called the 01945 number and the line indicates it is disconnected. Remember, scammers can make it appear they are calling from any number they wish, but actually underneath the 01945 number I suspect the number is very different and may have originated from the internet.

For further information about scam telephone calls and actions you can take, please visit the resources area in the website for the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Against Scams Partnership; https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/community-protection/against-scams-partnership/

You may also consider taking some online training provided by National Trading Standards as part of their initiative called Friends Against Scams.
