Hmm so got a call through direct work line from the police because an ex employee of an old supplier was giving customers his bank details for end of contract bills. we did owe the money we paid, we just paid him unknowingly. They wanted some questions answered over email to draw up a statement which they would then send back for me to sign. The officer read out my work email address (as well as confirming some info that they'd only have if they'd hacked mine or the suppliers emails).
Email came through and it gives the bank details we paid to, asks me to confirm if we did pay to that account, who I dealt with etc but then they also want the following info of mine
Full name, job title, work address, home address, contact numbers, d.o.b, place of birth, ethnicity
Because my colleague had a scam caller around the same time it's now made us a bit paranoid even though I think it is legit. Seems excessive amount of personal info though. Is that normal?
Was thinking of calling 101 tomorrow to double check it. They did explain over the phone what action was being taken against the person and the email reiterates this
@Burnsy2023 does this sound right?
and the sun is shining. Spring is finally on the way
