COURIER FRAUD
Recent Victims of fraud have been cold called, and coerced into sending large quantities of CASH through the postal system
fraudsters identify as 'bogus' official from bank/police/ other enforcement authority
No genuine organisation will ask you to send CASH through the post, its likely to be a scam
SUSPECT tell victims the cash is fake and need to be assessed then given an address for the package, Courier then collects package from destination address
The cash WILL be lost, and likely to go on to fund organised crime.
STOP AND THINK
