Surrey Police are urging carers, family and friends of vulnerable people to be on their guard, to help prevent their loved ones being exploited by fraudsters.

It comes after a 37% increase in courier fraud has been measured in the last twelve months, which is continuing to rise this year.

The warning comes as a new list of tactics used by fraudsters has been unveiled by the City of London Police.
Last year, 480 people were victims of courier fraud, with loses totalling more than £2million.
