What a bargain… or fraud? 👀

Sometimes, online adverts for goods and services can be part of a purchase scam

Always take a moment to consider whether an online link or website is reliable before buying goods online 💸

[North West Regional Cyber Crime Unit @NorthWestCyber1]

Last festive season, over £764,000 was lost to QR fraud.

Remember, stop and think before clicking a link or scanning a QR code.

Stay safe this Christmas—pause before you scan or click.

Tonight, the first episode of a new four-part documentary series ‘Merseyside Detectives: The Murders of Ashley and Olivia’ will air on @Channel4.

The series, by @LAProductionsUK will give you a behind the scenes look at our work during the devastating murders of 28-year-old Ashley Dale and nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in August 2022.

Our thoughts continue to be, and will forever remain with, the families of Ashley and Olivia and anyone else affected by the tragedies.

The series, which features Olivia and Ashley’s families, is a hard, emotional watch, which shows the police response from the first call received to the first responders attending, through to the investigations and subsequent convictions of the offenders.

If you need any support, please contact Victim Care Merseyside here: https://t.co/ZHhGbdkrQP

Merseyside Detectives will air at 9pm every night until Thursday.

🚨 Be aware of Courier Fraud

Remember your bank or the police will never ask you for your PIN, bank card or ask you to withdraw money or buy items on their behalf.

Think - How do I know they are who they say they are?
