This would-be scam victim couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right, and wisely decided to call the police...
Police will NEVER contact you with an urgent request for money. If you suspect you're the target of a scam, call your local police service immediately.
If you have elderly family members who may be at risk, talk to them about common scams and contact their bank about anti-fraud measures they may provide.
Stay vigilant and stay safe.
