A number of people in Tayside have been conned out of their own money by an ongoing banking scam involving people impersonating police officers.
Between October 2021 and January 2022, over 30 reports have been received by Police Scotland from members of the public, who have either been visited or contacted by individuals claiming to be Police Scotland officers.
On each occasion, the victim was contacted by telephone from someone claiming to be from a bank fraud department and advised that their bank account had been compromised.
