Police issue warning to bank account holders not to disclose personal information
Issued: 6 Mar 2009
NORTHERN Constabulary is warning the public to take care of their personal banking information.
A number of people in the Inverness area have recently been contacted unexpectedly by telephone, and by email trying to induce them to impart personal and banking details.
Under no circumstances should any details be given, as Banks themselves advise they would never contact individuals in this manner.
Constable Malcolm Raeburn, Community Safety Officer at Burnett Road said: "Under no circumstances should you impart personal or banking details to any person asking for it, either by way of telephone or email. If you have any doubt you should independently contact your bank to clarify any query that may have been raised."
Northern Constabulary can be contacted at 01463 715555 or Crimestoppers at 0800 555111.
