Residents in Worth Valley and Bingley areas have been warned about e-mail and telephone scams targeting the area.
Neighbourhood Policing Team members have received numerous complaints about attempted scams, although as far as they are aware no-one has been duped yet.
A statement said: “The calls were supposedly from the Inland Revenue and Paypal, each trying to get bank details with the promise of a rebate. Luckily, the people involved did not give any personal bank details out, but this is a timely reminder to all to be vigilant.”
