In light of recent reports, the police are urging people to remain vigilant and be extra cautious when receiving phone calls from unknown individuals. The reminder comes after two separate incidents were reported on Thursday, in which a person received a call from an individual claiming to be a Leicestershire police officer and requesting money to be withdrawn or transferred.

Fortunately, in both cases, no money was given away, and investigations into the reports are currently underway. The victims involved have been provided with advice on how to protect themselves from further scams.
