Cash point scam.

Alert message sent 10/02/2021 13:33:00

Information sent on behalf of Leicestershire Police

Dear recipient,

We have recently been made aware that a resident of Birstall was the victim of a 'cash point' scam a couple of weeks ago. It is suspected that a device was possibly attached to a cash point which stopped the card being returned, allowing the scammer to return later and retrieve it, then withdraw money. Please ensure that if you use cash points you cover the keypad with your other hand so that your PIN number remains secret and report any suspicious devices or incidents to your bank, the owners of the cash point in question or the Police. Thank you.

The Birstall and Wanlip beat team.
