Michael12,

Would you mind if I screenshot what you said to pass onto friends, please?
I won't do it if you say no. It'll just be easier for me.

COURIER FRAUD

Recent Victims of fraud have been cold called, and coerced into sending large quantities of CASH through the postal system

fraudsters identify as 'bogus' official from bank/police/ other enforcement authority

No genuine organisation will ask you to send CASH through the post, its likely to be a scam

SUSPECT tell victims the cash is fake and need to be assessed then given an address for the package, Courier then collects package from destination address

The cash WILL be lost, and likely to go on to fund organised crime.

STOP AND THINK
TALK ABOUT FRAUD TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES
PREVENT CALLS BY ADDING "CALL BLOCKERS" TO LANDLINE
REPORT ANY INCIDENTS
