The Fraud & Scam Bulletin July 2022 |
Your monthly update direct from West Mercia Police on the latest scams and frauds |
This month promotes the National Phishing Campaign and also features the current and ongoing WhatsApp Scams.
What is Phishing?
‘Phishing’ or ‘smishing’ is when criminals use scam emails, text messages or phone calls to trick their victims. Whether it’s an email asking you to ‘verify’ your bank account details, or a text message claiming you’ve been in close contact with someone that’s got COVID-19, the goal is usually the same – to trick you into revealing personal and financial information.
The most impersonated organisations in phishing emails reported last year were the NHS, HMRC and gov.uk.
Protect yourself
Fake emails and texts can be difficult to spot as criminals are always getting better at creating genuine-looking messages.
Here’s some practical advice you can follow when it comes to dealing with phishing scams:
WHATSAPP SCAMS
This month there has been a rise again in WhatsApp scams where the suspect is pretending to be the victim’s son/daughter and requesting payments made to their bank account.
The suspect applies pressure saying:
1. They cannot take the call (when the victim tries to call them) as they are using a friend’s phone
2. The suspect will say their “phone” has been dropped down the toilet and they cannot access their online banking, so to send the payment to a friend’s bank account
3. They apply further pressure by saying the money is for an unexpected bill or a debt that needs paying urgently
The suspect may then make repeated requests to have the money transferred quickly.
So do not attempt to call back the “friend’s” number provided, but use another number saved to your phone to double check with that relative before handing over any money.
