Coronavirus Scams A lot of very helpful information below thanks to age-friendly, Stay safe Belfast and the Belfast Trust. Remember your bank or the police will NEVER ask you to transfer money or move it to a safe account.
'The Police Service of Northern Ireland are getting a number of reports about scams involving coronavirus. These include offers to test for the virus and fake emails purporting to give advice from reputable bodies.... These are unprecedented times for us all. It's important we use this as an opportunity to look out, support and protect each other! It should not be used as an opportunity to take advantage of people's fears. Please share this message with your family, friends, peer groups and local communities.
