A little bit of advice and information can go a long way towards preventing people from falling victim to the hordes of scammers out to grab your cash in person or online.

As 2023 gets underway Police are urging Falkirk residents to familiarise themselves with the Little Book of Big Scams to guard against falling victim to con artists and suffer an unhappy start to the year.

The information contained in the Little Book of Big Scams booklet can arm people with enough knowledge to have confidence to go about their daily business without fear of falling foul of a scam.”
