Peppard News

Message from your Henley Neighbourhood Policing Team:

Victims in the Henley area are being contacted by scammers posing as Police Officers from the Met/ New Scotland Yard. The “officer” gives the victim a shoulder number and a crime reference number.

The “officer” says that there is an investigation going on at the victim’s bank and that the victims money is not safe and that they need to withdraw it, after which someone will come round to collect it and take to be stored.

Victims are being told not to tell anyone, as it is an ongoing investigation and to tell the bank that they need the money to purchase a car or another expensive item. If the victim is unsure, the “officer” tells the victim to call 161 and speak to a Sgt/DC, in actuality the line is not cleared by the original caller and someone else answer pretending to be the Sgt/DC and confirms the story.

Once the victim is back home, they are asked to box the money up and a courier comes round to collect the money.

Please remember that the police will never ask you to withdraw money, for bank details or your PIN. Please make elderly and vulnerable friends and relatives aware as they are more likely to be targeted. If you receive one of these calls hang up immediately and report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or online at: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud
