Police have urged people living in Shropshire to be 'scam smart' as almost 900 people were victims of investment fraud last year.
West Mercia Police has issued the warning today, stating that investment scams are increasingly sophisticated, as fraudsters can be financially knowledgeable.
He said: “If you’re contacted out of the blue about an investment opportunity, the chances are it’s a high-risk investment or a scam. “I want to reassure the public that we are working tirelessly with our colleagues in national and regional agencies to uncover these criminals and bring them to justice.
Time pressure – they might offer a bonus or discount if you invest before a set date or say the opportunity is only available for a short period
