BOGUS calls have been made to local businesses requesting payment for advertising to support the ‘local fire brigade’ or ‘local fire station’.
Hereford and Worcester and Rescue Service (HWFRS) has urged anyone affected by similar cold calls not to make payments as they are not genuine.
HWFRS does not carry out any such activities in relation sales or marketing and has advised people to get as much detail as possible, including a name and number and report it to Trading Standards and/ or Action Fraud.
