Had one today I'd had years ago, so knew well. Very polite young sounding
man claiming to be a detective sergeant from Hammersmith police. And that
they'd caught someone using my credit card.

Asked him for his full name and rank and I'd phone back the police station
using the number in the book.

there are no police station numbers "in the book" anymore

haven't been for decades
