Croydon police are reminding residents to stay vigilant after a 89 year old man fell victim to a scam.
The suspect, claiming to be a police officer, rang the victim explaining he was part of a financial investigation. He was instructed to issue two cheques, with a total of £34k to the name Daniel Dinemoor, and leave them outside his front door. The next day, the cheques were collected and £22,000 was taken out of the victims account. The bank was alerted of the fraudulent transaction and cancelled the pending transaction of the remaining £12,000.
