Yesterday, my husband received a phone call from a police officer telling him that he had been the victim of attempted identity fraud. The officer told him that they had arrested some people with a number of fake driving licences including my husbands. The email appeared legit and sure enough a call came through. It wasn't just the financial call that had been fake but ALSO THE POLICE OFFICER! He called the real Met police who told him that the name and badge number of the officer was fake, as was the crime number.
