Notice from actionfraud.police.uk
The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) have notified us of number of incidents whereby victims have been offered ‘low-cost loans’ from 'staff' claiming to be from the DWP, in an attempt to steal their identity.
The DWP will NEVER approach you on the street or online to ask for your personal or financial details.
If you have any concerns about the safety of your personal information, speak to a member of Jobcentre staff or get help from Action Fraud.
