being targeted.
BBCCopyright: BBC
The alert comes from North Yorkshire County Council's Operation Gauntlet team after people posing as fraud squad members have conned people out of cash.
One elderly woman received a phone call from someone claiming to be a police sergeant, who said he was part of an undercover operation and that two men had been arrested after withdrawing £16,000 from her account and replacing it with counterfeit money.
The victim was asked to go to her bank and withdraw £9,200 in cash to provide evidence of the counterfeit money.
Believing she was speaking to a genuine police officer she gave it to a man who came to her home.
The Operation Gauntlet team say anyone in North Yorkshire who thinks a vulnerable adult they know is at risk, should contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service to request contact from them.
