There is a man phoning up claiming to be a detective investigating a serious credit card fraud do not give him any details he is very convincing IF warned us about this end of last week and it happened to us today make sure you tell all staff friends and other business not to give any credit card details over the phone this man/men are very very good my wife picked up on it straight away, don't be conned the police and banks never ask for credit card or bank account numbers over the phone

thanks for that.....is he claiming to be from your bank?

Not with us it was the police another shop has said he claimed to be a customers husband

hey thanks for the warning.
we will be on the look out now!

Yes it happens. One of my girls was done when someone snuk in through the back door, found her handbag and then phoned up claiming to be the police. "we've caught them with your handbag and credit cards..no need to worry but we need to put a stop on all your cards just in case...can you tell us your pin numbers....in a panic ...she did.....£800 later the penny dropped

Thanks for the advice. A good rule of thumb is NEVER to give out your CC details or your PIN.

Here's one we almost fell for...even after seeing it on "The Real Hustle"...after doing groundwork of when the boss is going to be away a person (Con artist) comes in on that day with a parcel for them...they ask you to phone the boss on day off so they can talk to them with regards to accepting the package. Some where along the conversation the Boss puts the phone down (not anticipating any package), but the con artist continues to talk (basically to no one) in front of you and as a result manages to drop the parcel off and get it paid for on the spot...open the box and all thats in it is probably a used car part.

Tip is NEVER tell anyone when Boss/Manager.Owner is not there, just apologise and say we don't give out that information. Even if this does happen make sure you speak again to them to ensure the transaction is to go ahead in his own words.

Its a simple one but very easy to fall for!!
