Trading Standards – Courier Fraud

In the last three weeks Kent Police have had in excess of 50 reports of Courier Fraud across Kent

❌ Residents receive a call from the Police and they either need to give their address for a courier to come and get their bank card or money. The scam can change from having a family member arrested and you need to call 999 or that fraud has taken place on your account.

🚨 These are all scams.

❎ The Police never telephone and ask your bank card and pin number to be collected by a courier or withdraw cash to assist in an investigation.

🚨 If a courier arrives at your property ring 999. If you think that you may have been a victim of this or any other type of scam, then contact your bank immediately, which you can do by calling 159 and report to Kent Police.
