SCAM ALERT#

Please share our scam alert message on Distribution Fraud. This type of fraud generally involves criminal gangs impersonating established, well-known firms.

DS Shannon from GMP'S Economic Crime Unit states "Check any documents for poor spelling and grammar – this is often a sign that fraudsters are at work. If English is not your first language and you are not confident that you can do this, try and find someone that can carry out these checks for you. Instruct your delivery drivers about the risk and ensure that they do not change the drop off point without checking with you first."
