60 Second Security - Courier Fraud
This video is one of a series of '60 Second Security' videos all around simple security advice.
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. They may ask you to hang up and ring your bank, but the criminal doesn’t hang up! This effectively blocks the line making you think you’re speaking to your bank! They then send someone to your address to collect your card, which can then be used to take money from your account.
