A man was scammed by a fraudster posing as a police officer, leading to a bank account theft
The victim, who is elderly, was tricked into giving away his bank information. The scammer used a fake name and collar number, making it sound official. After the call, money was taken from his account, leaving him in a tough spot.
Police are taking this seriously and have warned everyone to be cautious. They reminded folks that real police or banks will never ask for sensitive information over the phone. If someone shows up at your door claiming to be from the police or a bank, don’t hand over anything. Always verify who you’re talking to and report any suspicious activity.
If you think you’ve been scammed, reach out to your bank immediately. It’s crucial to secure your finances and report the fraud to the police. They’re working hard to catch these scammers and protect vulnerable people from falling victim to such tricks. Stay alert and help spread the word to keep everyone safe.
