General Advice and Support
Police are urging the public to be on their guard against cold-callers, fraudsters and scammers.
- Be on your guard against cheats.
- Shops will not phone you and ask for money - they will only accept transactions when you phone them.
- If someone who appears to be official calls at your door, insist on seeing their identity card - if in doubt do not let them in.
- Do not give money to someone who says they will run an errand for you, unless you know and trust them - only give them money when they return with your messages and show you the shop receipt.
- If you are worried, phone the police on: 101
