AN ELDERLY woman from Poole withdrew £10,000 from her bank account after falling victim to a scam call.
Two officers who were 'in the right place at the right time', took part in a swift intervention which meant the woman was safeguarded and the money returned to her bank account.
A spokesperson from Dorset Police said: "There are many highly convincing scam calls out there.
"The Police, or any other agency for that matter, will NEVER ask you to withdraw cash. They will also NEVER ask you for your PIN number.
"You can find out more information about these scams on our website."
