Humberside Police have issued a warning about new scam messages specifically targeting parents. A Force spokesman told Beverley FM: “Sophisticated fraudsters have been reported to claim they are the victim’s child who then requires money to be sent to them following an issue or an emergency.” He continued: ”These scams are designed to play on the parent’s emotions, with fraudsters becoming more and more sophisticated in the way that they deceive people.” If you receive one of these text messages, calls, or voicemails or if you think you’ve been a victim of fraud, report it to actionfraud.police.uk.
