The
National Fraud Intelligence Bureau has identified an increasing number
of reports submitted to Action Fraud from the public concerning courier
fraud.
Fraudsters
are contacting victims by telephone and purporting to be a police
officer or bank official. To substantiate this claim, the caller might
be able to confirm some easily obtainable basic details about the victim
such as their full name and address. They may also offer a telephone
number for the victim to call to check that they are genuine; this
number is not genuine and simply redirects to the fraudster who pretends
to be a different person. After some trust has been established, the
fraudster will then, for example, suggest;
- Some money has been removed from a victim’s bank account and staff at their local bank branch are responsible.
