Police are urging members of the public to be vigilant following a number of telephone scams across the county. Officers have received three separate reports within the past two weeks after victims have been contacted by fraudsters claiming to be police officers. A victim in Heacham lost £4,000 in such a scam, and there was also an attempt in Downham Market in the last couple of weeks. Neither the police nor your bank will ever ask you to withdraw or transfer money or purchase items as payment.
