Courier fraud occurs when a criminal contacts you by phone and convinces you
that you are required to hand over money or your debit/credit card for a
legitimate reason to someone who will pick this up.

 

 1. Never hand over your card: Your bank or the police will never ring you to
    tell you they are coming to your home to pick up money or your card. Never
    hand these over to anyone who comes to collect it.
 2. Take Five to stop and think: Criminals are experts at impersonating banks,
    trusted organisations or the police. They will try to rush and panic you
    into responding to their requests. It’s ok to reject, refuse or ignore these
    requests.
 3. Always speak to your bank securely: If you’re contacted out of the blue, you
    can always call your bank back on a number you know to be correct. Hang up
    and wait five minutes before you call your bank, as criminals may stay on
    the line. Alternatively, use a different line altogether to call your bank.
