🚨 SCAM ALERT – Beware of Fake Police Data Requests 🚨

We've been made aware of scam messages claiming to be from police forces, asking recipients to provide information to assist with an investigation.

The message may appear to come from organisations such as:
👮 Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary
👮 Thames Valley Police
👮 Surrey Police
👮 Sussex Police

⚠️ Don't be fooled.

Before clicking any links or providing personal information:

✅ Verify the request through the police force's official website or by calling 101.
✅ Check the sender carefully.
✅ Never provide personal or financial information unless you are certain the request is genuine.
✅ If you're unsure, don't click the link.

🔒 If you receive a suspicious message:
• Delete it.
• Report it as spam.
• If you've already clicked the link or shared information, contact your bank immediately (if financial details were involved) and report it to Action Fraud.

Your safety matters. Stay alert and help protect yourself and others from scams.
