Avon and Somerset Police is warning the
public to be vigilant after receiving multiple reports of
fraudsters contacting people while posing as police
officers.
People have reported receiving telephone
calls from individuals claiming to be officers from Avon and
Somerset Police. In reality, it is a criminal contacting a
member of the public, using a 'spoofed’ phone number to
intentionally cover up their real caller ID and instead
mirror the phone number of a legitimate organisation.
These scam calls may use AI technology,
be automated or from a real person. Their main goal is to
trick you into sharing personal information or to transfer
money.
See the attached PDF for more
information.
