Sussex Police would like to bring this scam to the attention of Business Owners:

A tattoo studio in Worthing, have reported that they received a phone call from an unknown number. The caller claimed to be from Sussex Police and that they were pulling together a crime prevention magazine and asked if the studio would like to contribute financially to this to help keep vulnerable people safe. They called asking this twice, each time asking for £400 and they would take payment via credit card.

This is a scam and not something that Sussex Police would do.

Please make your staff and colleagues aware.
