Hang Up On Fraud
The Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit (DCPCU) is this week launching a new campaign called Hang Up on Fraud. Latest intelligence shows that fraudsters are increasingly targeting consumers directly over the phone.
The central message of the Hang Up on Fraud campaign is that ‘people are not always who they say they are’ – just because a caller claims they are from your bank, police or another trusted organisation, does not mean they are. It’s important that consumers are very wary of any cold callers, regardless of who they say they represent or what they are offering.
