Warning over latest telephone scam in North Solihull

SCAMMERS posing as telecoms engineers are reportedly ringing homes in North Solihull.
Police have confirmed reports from residents in Chelmsley Wood, Fordbridge and Marston Green, who are being called by conmen posing as workers from BT Openreach.
The crooks claim that they have identified a problem with the homeowner's computer and try to cajole their victim into giving them remote access to the machine.
Their hope is to gain access to online bank accounts.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "If you haven't already reported a problem with your computer and you get a call out of the blue the chances are it's a scam.
"BT will not cold call you and ask for remote access to your computer, Do not give your personal information, computer password or bank account details to anyone who cold calls over the phone."
