Police warn on phone scam


Police are advising people to be vigilant following reports of attempted telephone scams across the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary area.

In all the incidents a man has telephoned homeowners purporting to be from Nat West Bank and claiming that the owner has a debt and that bailiffs will be calling at the house to reclaim the debt.

In all cases the victims have told the callers to ‘go away’ and no ‘bailiffs’ have turned up at their homes but police want people to be on their guard if they receive such a call and ensure that no personal information is divulged over the telephone.
