Good Morning, We have had several reports of bank account ‘smishing’ fraud attempts. Victim has received a text message that appears to be from their own bank, asking to verify a transaction by texting back yes or no. The victim then receives a telephone call and is told they must move money to a safe account. This is a scam! If you do receive a text or call from a person claiming to be from your bank then please do not give any personal information. Hang up, leave the line for a few minutes or use a different phone and always use the telephone number from the back of your card or bank statement. For more information visit- https://takefive-stopfraud. Please share this message with family and friends. Kind regards, PCSO Beth George ![]() |

Detectives are urging people to stay vigilant following several reports of scam phone calls purporting to be from Microsoft. In Cheshire there have been several reports of residents receiving phone calls from fraudsters posing as workers from Microsoft. The scammers claim to be computer security engineers and tell victims that their computers are at a security risk. They then say that a security check needs to be performed and if the victim agrees, the scammers can then gain remote access to the computer.
