Residents in Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, stay vigilant! Number of courier fraud in the last two weeks is increasing.

Stay alert! If you or someone you know has been targeted, report it by calling 101. For emergencies, dial 999.

Scammers pose as police, bank staff, or service providers, claiming your account has been compromised. They may ask for account details, send you to withdraw cash, and even send a "courier" to collect it.
