Scammer posing as fake postman prompts police to issue warning

A scammer posing as a postman has prompted police to issue a warning.

A man wearing impersonating a Royal Mail worker has been knocking on doors in the Rhos on Sea area. 

North Wales Police issued the warning through its community safety central team warning residents of a “suspicious man”.

They say he ran away when a concerned resident asked for ID.

In a post on Facebook, the force said: “A suspicious male has been reported claiming to be from #RoyalMail in the #RhosOnSea area.

“When asked for ID, he ran away.

“Anyone who is genuine will ALWAYS be happy to provide ID and wait if you wish to verify it. Be #ScamAware.”

If you witness any suspicious behaviour, you can report it to police on their non-emergency number 101.
