KCC Scams

❎ The Police never telephone and ask you to withdraw money from your Bank to be collected by a courier to assist in an investigation. Nor ask to collect your Bank Cards by a courier for the same reason.

If you think that you may have been a victim of this or any other type of scam, then contact your Bank immediately, which you can do by calling 159 and report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040.

Kent Officers are aware of scams that impersonate famous people using artificial intelligence to create videos endorsing fake investment schemes on social media. These videos will give an element of authenticity and are intended to make people trust what they are seeing.

🚨This is a scam.

Be cautious in investing in schemes promoted on social media. Never assume or believe that what you are seeing is genuine. Carry out your own research and seek independent financial advice.

If an offer is too good to be true, then it is.
