60 Second Security - Courier Fraud

Coming Soon….Hot off the press!

 

Greater Manchester Police have already created 8 films with series 1 and 2 of #60SecondSecurity which are videos all around simple security advice. Currently with 40k hits on Youtube and Flickr.

 

Designed to provide easy step by step tips, including advice on products and how to install and use them, helping to make you and your property that little bit safer.

 

Series 3 will be coming out in May 2014 but in the mean time we have created a special one off episode due to an increasing and very concerning crime called ‘Courier Fraud’.

 

Courier fraud is where someone phones you and tries to get your card details & pin number claiming to be from the police or your bank, investigating a crime. During the call they will try and make it seem genuine by asking you to hang up and ring your bank, but this is a trick.

 

Your card will be collected and then be used to empty your bank account.

 

To report fraud call police on 101 (999 if it’s an emergency), Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040, or report it online at www.actionfraud.police.uk

You should call 101, the new national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

 

Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.

 

You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

 

Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
