Alert – Scam Phone Upgrade Call

A Warwickshire resident reported receiving a scam phone call from someone falsely claiming to represent Carphone Warehouse. The caller asked for personal information including occupation, date of birth and bank details before asking for an upfront payment of £53.00. No money was paid on this occasion.

Another resident reported a similar approach by someone pretending to be calling from EE offering a mobile upgrade.

NEVER provide personal or financial information cold callers.
