Do you know how to spot a fraudster?


Dorset Police have received reports of suspected fraudulent activity. 


If you receive a request to share personal or financial information, remember that your bank or the police will never:


•    Ask you to transfer money out of your account
•    Send someone to your home to collect cash, cards, PIN numbers or cheque books
•    Ask you to withdraw money to hand over to them for safe-keeping
•    Call to ask for a PIN or banking password

If you suspect you may have been the victim of a scam or fraudulent activity, report it to Action Fraud online www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040.
