Scammers posing as police defraud Canterbury resident of £23,000


Kent Police are warning Canterbury residents about a phone scam where criminals impersonate police officers. Between Sept 27-30, three victims were told their bank accounts were compromised and were pressured into withdrawing money or purchasing items. One person was defrauded of over £23,000. The fake “officers” had a courier collect the cash from the victims’ homes.
