Telecare Scam Alert 

We’ve been alerted to a scam where people with Telecare services in place are being phoned and told that their current provider is no longer in business, or that they need to pay to keep their service.

The caller claims to be from the new provider and they ask for bank details to set up a new direct debit.

Sunderland Care and Support and other providers of telecare services will never cold call and ask for bank details in such a way.

If you believe you are the victim of a fraud, report to Action Fraud by calling 0300 123 2040 or visit 👉 www.actionfraud.police.uk.
