Police Scotland investigates a courier scam that tricked an Inverness resident out of £10,000.

Police Scotland is investigating a courier scam that defrauded an Inverness resident of at least £10,000. In the scam, fraudsters posing as bank officials or investigators alerted the victim to fake account activity, instructing them to withdraw and hand over money to a courier. Police stress that genuine officials will never ask for cash to be handed to a courier and advise the public to verify such calls using official bank contact information.
