Multiple attempts have been made to scam elderly people in Brighton.
Men who are reported to be calling from a withheld number are targeting victims by pretending to be police officers.
They are making victims believe they are involved in a financial investigation, and this leads to handing over large sums of money in either pounds, or in an alternative currency.
If this sounds familiar and you believe you or someone you know may have been targeted, or if you have any information to assist us in identifying the culprits, we ask you to urgently make a report.
Contact police online, or by calling 101 quoting Operation Signature.
