Warning about bogus callers

The call was made by a man with an English accent which the resident said was very hard to make out.

The caller knew the person ran a farm business and was asking if they would make a donation for an army charity in either Aldershot or Alderhill as they were looking for local businesses to sponsor them.

The male caller was told that they didn’t own a farm and he was calling a private house.

The man then stated he could also take private donations. He was told there was no interest in making a donation and the call ended. The resident tried to trace the call but was unable to do so.

Police have urged callers to be aware of bogus callers and do not provide financial information or donations to cold callers without first identifying they are genuine.
