A spokesman said: “We have received reports of a number of calls in the Rugby area today (Tuesday), where members of the public have been called by someone purporting to be from Rugby Police Station asking for their bank details.
“Please note the police or your bank will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your personal details, including your PIN number, password or account details; ask you to transfer money into another account for fraud reasons; ask you to withdraw cash and hand to someone for safe keeping; send someone to your home to collect cash, bank cards, account details or PIN numbers.
