Hello, Has anyone else had a phone from people claiming to be police or police federation?
Before Christmas I had several people from Crime Stop Magazine.
Please look out for anything to do with policing portal ltd, PDLUK they are all connected.
Merseyside police are looking into this as well as Actin Fraud.
These people will call you up, are very chatty, talk very fast and give you a load of BS,
They will tell you that they have checked out your business background and you have been selected to feature in the next magazine and only the emergency services will be allowed to use your business.
I nearly fell for it!! Smelling a load of BS and had a dodgy feeling over couple of days that something wasn't quite right when they sent me the paperwork through the post, I did some googling and realised it was a scam.
Luckily I never handed over any money.
These people are now desperate and stupid as they still continue to call and now claiming to be the fire brigade.
My response is to tell them "wait a sec, I'll give you my bosses number to call and it's the action fraud number I given them.
Anyhow can you pass the message on, I have put an alert message out on my website, as I don't want these scammers getting away with it.
