Good evening

        Could people just be aware whilst out and about. There is a current scam doing the rounds. Fraudsters will target parking machines and similar. They place an out of order sticker on the machine. The wording on the sticker will ask you to contact the phone number to pay for your parking or similar.

        Obviously once you contact the number they will attempt to take as much money as they can during the phone call, via personal details.

         Never attempt to contact a phone number where you are not one hundred percent certain of its origin.

          This scam has not appeared in Rossendale but is doing the rounds in other areas. So be on your guard.
