It was reported that during the afternoon of Thursday 21 December 2023, a resident in Broadstairs received a call from a man claiming to be an officer from Norwich investigating money laundering. The victim was asked to go to their bank to withdraw £8,000 as the officer claimed they needed to check the notes were real. The fraudster also arranged for a taxi to collect the money which fortunately left empty-handed after the bank intervened and declined the cash withdrawal.
Officers are making enquiries into the incident.
