It may be the season of goodwill, but Police Scotland would like to remind the public that not everyone has goodness in their heart …
Over recent months, there has been an increase in adverts on social media selling sites advertising high price mobile phones.
This scheme requires the victim to forward their mobile phone and a sum of money, in return a new high value mobile phone will be dispatched to you.
The truth is that no mobile phone arrives and you have lost your original phone and a sum of money.
Whilst not trying to undermine the entrepreneurism of sellers, Police Scotland would like to remind the general public that although many use social selling sites safely, use caution in any transaction they intend becoming involved in and do not provide bank details or send any high value items or cash to sellers in advance.
If anyone has any information about the incident they are encouraged to contact Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
or online at http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/
No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court.
