Courier Fraud Alert

The Humberside Police have received an alert stating that fraudsters are impersonating police officers, claiming to be from Grimsby Police Station.

They have contacted elderly people in an attempt to steal money from them. The fraudsters are suggesting that bank accounts have been compromised or that the victim has been given fake bank notes. One fraudster told the victim to call 101 whilst they were still on the phone to confirm who they are.

If you encounter anyone carrying out a doorstep scam & their behaviour is threatening, then contact emergency services for immediate support.

If it’s an emergency, contact 999, but if it’s a non-emergency contact 101.
