Residents in Helston have been urged to be alert for an Amazon scam, police revealed today.

The scam comes in the form of a cold caller, email or automated call claiming to be Amazon or Amazon Prime.

Devon and Cornwall Police said:

"All of these are scams and instructions should not be followed, please hang up, don't give out any personal information or click on any links.

"If you want to check a call is genuine - hang up and make contact the company via a reliable source.

"Please wait ten minutes before making another call or clear the line by phoning a friend/family member."

Nub News reported of a different scam last week after reports of calls pretending to be HMRC.
