Cumbria police warn of scams impersonating banks, police, or tax officials, urging residents not to share info or pay via phone.
Cumbria police are running a December campaign using bus stop ads in Carlisle and Barrow to warn residents about phone scams where fraudsters pose as bank staff, police, or tax officials.
They caution against sharing bank details, sending money, or buying items for pickup.
Authorities stress legitimate organizations never request sensitive info or payments by phone.
Residents are advised to hang up, call 101 from another phone, wait five minutes before returning the call, and seek help in person.
Anyone targeted should report it to police.
