SENT ON BEHALF OF MY COMMUNITY VOICE:- My name is Emily, I am a Fraud Prevention Co-Ordinator for Kent Police!

I would like to invite you to join me on Thursday 1st May 2025 15:00pm - 16:00pm for a virtual Fraud Prevention presentation via Microsoft Teams!

Some of the areas covered includes fraudulent calls, emails and text messages, Romance/Friendship fraud, Rogue Traders, Gift card Fraud, Impersonation and investment fraud, recovery fraud and ways to protect yourself against fraud!

If you are interested in finding out how to protect yourself from the threat of fraud and how to avoid criminals stealing your money and would like to attend the virtual fraud prevention presentation, please contact Emily Jenner at KFAS@ecis.police.uk to receive your link to join the event!

In the meantime, please remember the ABC of fraud awareness:

Never ASSUME – Never assume a caller is genuine.
Never BELIEVE – Never believe a caller is genuine – Scammers may ‘spoof’ official telephone numbers, so the call display may show your banks telephone number, but it does not mean it is a genuine call.
Always CONFIRM – Always confirm if the call is genuine –Ask for identification ( Name, Branch, employee number etc). Tell the caller you will hang up and call back to confirm. Call the bank on the number shown on their website using a different phone, or wait at least 10 minutes. Ask if it was a genuine call.

Banks, police, HMRC and other organisations will NEVER ask you to transfer money, send money or ask for banking details and passwords. NEVER give this information to anyone.
