There’s a warning that numerous householders in Ruddington have being targeted by a telephone scam over the past few days.
The automated hoax message informs you that there has been an attempted transaction of £600 on your bank card. If you press numbers on the keypad as instructed, it takes you through various options aimed at tricking you into revealing your card or bank account details. Please beware not to do this – and also warn any vulnerable friends or relatives who may fall victim to the scammers. If you are at all concerned, you should always contact your bank directly using a known telephone number, rather than via an incoming call.
