London police issue bank fraud warning

London police have issued a warning following a spate of incidents in which fraudsters masqueraded as bank fraud department officials to obtain customer cards and PIN details. A total of 13 incidents have been reported across eight north and east London boroughs since August using the same method. The victims all received a call from a man claiming to be from the fraud department of a bank - usually Barclays - and stating their account had been subject to fraudulent activity.
