This afternoon, I got a call from someone claiming my credit card was charged at a Sainsbury’s on Nottingham Road in Mansfield. The caller said he was DC James Maddison, badge number 7593, from Chesterfield police. He gave me a phone number to ring back on, 01240 00911, but something felt off so I ended the call. I’ve tried looking up Chesterfield police’s contact info since then, but I just can’t seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Got a robo call from 01240 291126 saying there's been a £600 charge on my Barclaycard in the past quarter of an hour, supposedly from overseas. They told me to hit 1 if I didn't recognise it. Definitely sounded dodgy to me!

Got a call from 01240 182513, some bloke saying he was Rick Jordan calling on behalf of my phone company to stop unwanted calls. He had a funny accent and when I told him I’d be reporting him for pestering me, he just hung up straight away. Watch out, total scam!

Got a call from someone claiming to be Visa/Mastercard, telling me £600 had just gone from my account abroad and to press 1 if I wanted to cancel it. It’s the same old story I’ve heard from various places before - just hang up straight away. Might be safer not to peek at your bank stuff right away in case they’ve hacked your computer. The number they called from was 01240-940437.

If you get a call from a number starting with 01240, chances are the person ringing isn’t showing their real number. That code hasn’t been assigned to any actual place yet, so it’s probably just someone faking their caller ID.
