FARM owners are being warned to watch out for bogus callers trying to scam them out of money by Wiltshire Police.

A spate of fraudulent calls sparked the warning with scammers posing as police officers and asking if machinery has been tagged before requesting donations.

There have now been more than 10 reports of a man calling himself John Thomas asking for money or asking questions about equipment and police want people to be alert.

If you have been visited by this fraudster or have any information on him please contact Wiltshire Police on 101 or message the Wiltshire Rural Crime Team on Facebook.
