⚠️ We’ve received reports of criminals calling residents in Dover, Rochester, Maidstone, Ramsgate, Romney Marsh, Gillingham and Cranbrook impersonating police officers.
📞 Residents are being called and told:
- Their bank account has been compromised
- Their card needs replacing
- A family member has been arrested
- They must buy gold
- A courier will collect their card, cash, or gold.
🚨 These are scams. The police will never ask for your financial details over the phone or send someone to collect your card, cash, or valuables.
