📞 POLICE WARN ABOUT FAKE CALLS USING BARNSLEY POLICE NUMBER

South Yorkshire Police are warning residents about fraudsters spoofing a telephone number associated with Barnsley police. Seven reports have been made involving calls appearing to come from 01226 736394. The callers have claimed to be detectives and have referred to personal information, with cryptocurrency mentioned in some cases. Police say the calls are NOT genuine. Fraudsters can disguise the number shown on your phone, so a familiar-looking number does not guarantee the caller is legitimate. If you receive a suspicious call, do not provide personal or financial information. Hang up and contact South Yorkshire Police independently on 101.
