The incident happened in Ferndown, where a resident was targeted through a scheme involving identity theft. Fraudsters, posing as representatives from EE, arranged for a mobile phone to be delivered to the victim’s address. Once the item is delivered, the fraudsters arrange for it to be collected before the victim becomes aware. In this case, the Uber driver who arrived to collect the handset grew suspicious and promptly contacted Dorset Police. Anyone who suspects they have been targeted by fraud is encouraged to report it to Report Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or online at www.reportfraud.police.uk.
