Telephone scammers are contacting people across Lincolnshire while pretending to be from Age UK Lincolnshire.

These callers may try to persuade you to hand over personal information, bank details, money or try to sell you a service or product. Please remember that Age UK Lincolnshire will never cold-call you to sell products or services or ask for your bank details over the phone.

If you receive a call claiming to be from Age UK and something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. End the call and contact Age UK directly on 01522 696 000 to check whether the call was genuine.
