Police issue pharmacy phone call fraud alert

 


North Wales Police have been made aware of fraudsters targeting residents, pretending to be from their local pharmacy or chemist. 

The criminals say they are calling to confirm a repeat prescription or delivery of medication. The victim is then asked to provide their bank details.

A police spokesperson said: "I would urge residents to be aware of this tactic and not provide personal details or bank details to anyone over the telephone. If you receive such a call, please hang up and report to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.

"If you are concerned about your medication, please contact your pharmacy using a phone number you know and trust."
