Friday 13th is unlucky for some. Don’t get caught out by a financial fraudster today. Be mindful of who you trust – criminals may try and trick you into their confidence by telling you that you’ve been a victim of fraud. Always #TakeFive

[North Yorkshire Police Fraud Unit @NYPFraudUnit]

“Dear user”, “Dear customer” – if a message doesn’t use your name, it may be fake.
#TakeFive and notice the signs of fraud. For more info visit https://t.co/gsNJp7SRAa
