Warning from Action Fraud
‘Just because someone knows a few basic details about you, it doesn’t mean they are genuine. Fraudsters regularly use personal information to build trust and believability’.
Don’t take any risks. If you don’t know the caller, hang up.
Warning about post-Brexit scams
The Consumer Association (Which?) is advising people to be on the alert for scams, as criminals prey on consumers’ uncertainty about their rights following Brexit.

If you’re not sure what to do, contact the organisation on an official line and check the information you have been given.
