Horsham Police says it has been contacted by people who have been receiving text messages from fraudsters claiming to be from their bank.

The messages state a fraudulent transaction has been made and victims are told to call a number. After phoning money is then taken from you.

Police are warning not to call the number and instead visit your bank.

A spokesman added: “As a reminder, neither your bank nor the Police will ask for your passwords and pin numbers.”
