Police issue a makeup scam warning

Warning of a potential scam involving cosmetics

Police are warning about a potential scam involving cosmetic offers.

 

Officers from the Northern Neighbourhood Policing Team say someone was offered free samples of skin cream – with only a charge for postage.

 

But they say the company asks for card details by phone, leaving people vulnerable to having their bank accounts emptied.

 

The advice from the police is not to give out personal or financial details until you’re sure about who you’re dealing with – and if a deal sounds too good to be true it usually is!
