TSB warns that criminals are targeting older people using courier fraud scams. In these cases, fraudsters pressure victims into handing over their bank cards, cash, or other high-value items in person, often portraying the interaction as urgent or official. The bank says offenders may use methods designed to convince victims to comply quickly, including instructions that encourage them to arrange delivery or hand over items to a courier. The warning is focused on protecting vulnerable customers from scams that involve transferring assets directly rather than through typical online or card-payment routes. TSB’s alert emphasizes that victims should be cautious about anyone demanding cards, money, or valuables and should verify claims through trusted, official channels instead of following instructions given by the caller. The report highlights the risk to older customers and the need for heightened awareness when unexpected requests are made that involve handovers to couriers.
