BE AWARE

Alert message sent 09/02/2021 22:35:00

Information sent on behalf of Leicestershire Police

Good Evening,

There has been a recent spate of phone thefts by scammers. Victims are advertising phones for sale through social media, the scammers act as potential buyers communicating via fake profiles and then will meet up in a public space and either attempt to pass over fake bank notes or when they have the phone in their hands run away.

Whilst auction sites may take a small commission, this is still the best way to sell your goods as they afford a better level of protection from these scammers.

Kind Regards

PCSO Sarah Baker 6617
Fosse Ward
Hinckley Road Police Station
