A warning has gone out to local shopkeepers and businesses about a new scam. North Yorkshire Police say they’ve had several reports of this scam recently targeting local shops.
A police spokesman said: "The offenders enter the shop and say they have lost their bank card but present a barcode on their phone for the cashier to scan to get money from their account. "In some cases, the offenders have used a ‘Card One’ barcode in the scam and others have claimed it is a ‘Pay point’.” If you have been a victim of this, please ring 101.
