Mobile phone scams: These cold-call phone scams typically involve fraudsters deceiving people into believing they are speaking to a police officer, a member of bank staff or a representative of another trusted company or agency such as a government department like HMRC.

Usually, the fraudster will convince an individual that they have been a victim of fraud and will ask for personal and financial information in order to gain access to their account.

Fraudsters recognise people are easily led, especially when on a mobile phone. Working from home and trying to do everything on-line now.
