Kent Police has received a large number of reports for Courier Fraud across Kent

Residents receive a call from the Police and they either need to give their address for a courier to come and get their bank card or money. The scam can change from having a family member arrested and you need to call 999 or that fraud has taken place on your account.

These are all scams.

The Police never telephone and ask your bank card and pin number to be collected by a courier or withdraw cash to assist in an investigation.

If a courier arrives at your property ring 999. If you think that you may have been a victim of this or any other type of scam, then contact your bank immediately, which you can do by calling 159 and report to Kent Police.
