Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service issue scam text warning
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service have issued a warning about a scam text message that they say is circulating.
The scam claims that the fire service will be in your area carrying out visits, and that if you miss the visit you will be fined.
A spokesperson for the service said: “Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service does not send out text messages or hand out fines. Any visit from us would be carried out by a member of the Service in uniform and they would have formal identification on them as well as an official fire service vehicle. We would at no point ask for payment.
“Please do avoid engaging with suspicious texts and report any concerns to Cambridgeshire Constabulary on 101.”
