Police warn of scam targeting older people who have recently left hospital
By Rory Poulter 3rd Feb 2022
Older people in South-West London who have recently left hospital are being targeted by scam calls, police have said.
In a tweet this weekend Richmond Police wrote: "We are aware of a scam to older residents, recently discharged from hospital who are receiving calls from people claiming to represent a community alarm company & asking for payment details.
"Under no circumstance should you give your bank details over the phone."
The same warning was released by the Kingston, Merton and Wandsworth Metropolitan Police accounts.
