FIRST ANOTHER ATTEMPTED COURIER FRAUD:
The potential victim is elderly and received a phone call from A detective Sergeant, who said he worked out of Chelmsford Police station. He appeared to have all her details. He told her that someone had ben accessing her bank account and money had been taken. He asked her to confirm all her bank and PIN numbers, which she refused to do, but she had supplied the name of her bank. The man told her to put the phone down and dial the police immediately. The phone did not work.
There have not been any further calls.
This is a standard Courier Fraud outline. They are still happening and everyone should be on their guard.
