A couple in their 70s have spoken out after they were conned out of £70,000 by a fraudster posing as a police officer. The grandparents say they are still traumatised by what happened to them.
They were phoned by someone claiming to be a police office. The caller said that somebody had attempted to use their bank cards.
The caller then advised them to withdraw and transfer money to a building society account in order to keep it "safe", West Midlands Police said.
