Cold Calling Scam

A Trafford resident has received an unsolicited call from a firm offering to stop cold calls for a fee of £3.00 and requested bank details. This is a scam. You can obtain this service free of charge from the Telephone Preference Service.

Please be aware of the above message from Trafford Council and if you require more information please call PCSO Chris Eastwood – Stretford Neighbourhood Policing Unit – 0161 856 7655 or CRIMESTOPPERS – 0800 555 111.

We are aware that this happened in Trafford, but we would like to make all residents aware that this may happen across Greater Manchester.
