We were called to a residential address at Golf Club Road in Woking on Monday, 31 January following reports of fraudulent activity against an elderly victim. The victim, a man in his late eighties was called at around 1pm by someone pertaining to be from the police who was claiming that they were investigating fraud at a local NatWest Branch.
The victim was kept on the phone for a number of hours and even transferred to someone else pretending to be a NatWest advisor. He was then told that he would be visited by a man who would need to collect his cards and PIN numbers.
