Ringmaster Bedfordshire - County - 1st September 2011 - Bedfordshire Police warning concerning UKASH Voucher Scam

This is a message from Bedfordshire Police to all members of the community.

Bedfordshire Police has received reports of victims receiving telephone calls from an unknown person who has been offering loans.

The unknown person has been telling the victim that in order to get the loan the purchase of a UKASH voucher - which can range from between £200 and £300 - needs to be made and then the voucher number should be given to the unknown person.

However, the loans are never issued to the victims and the unknown person disappears.

Bedfordshire Police would like to remind all members of the Community that the UKASH vouchers system is a genuine voucher system but has often times been misused by the criminal elements.

Please be warned: If a UKASH voucher number is given out it can be used by anyone over the internet without any details of ownership being required.

Thank you.
