There is an ongoing series of fraudulent calls to elderly people, where the suspect identifies themselves as a Police Officer.
The fraudster asks the victim to either:
Go to their local bank and withdraw cash (usually between £1500 - £2000) stating that a Police Officer will call round to collect / check, or
Leave their bank cards with PIN numbers, cash and/or jewellery outside their house, in their post box.
The fraudster keeps the victim on the phone and then collects the cards / PINS, cash and jewellery and will then use the cards to withdraw cash from various ATM’s.
