MPS received a complaint of an attempted fraud involving a local pharmacy. The scammer requested credit card information to fulfil a prescription, and when questioned further by the complainant the scammer advised the prescription was issued by a local Doctor. The local Doctor and Pharmacy were not involved in the attempted fraud, but it is a good reminder that information easily accessible on the internet can be used against potential victim’s to make the scam more believable. Police would like to remind people that providing credit card information over the phone should only be done when making a purchase from a reputable company you trust and you have initiated the transaction.
