Fake Citizen Advice Bureau Calls
16 Aug 2013

The man claims he is from a Citizen Advice Bureau and is calling about the consumer's recent car accident.
REMEMBER
- Citizen Advice Bureaus NEVER cold call people.
- Using a charity or public body's details to gain your trust is just one tactic a scammer will use to convince you to part with your money or personal details.
- If you have any doubts, HANG UP the phone and call your local Bureau.
