76 year-old man conned by fake Nigerian lotto

An Exeter based police officer is warning elderly people not to be taken in by email scams.

Sergeant Chris Pusey spent an hour this morning convincing a seventy six year old man that he hadn't won the Nigerian lotto. 

He was at a bank trying to withdraw his last two thousand pounds to send to the fraudsters.

Police officers are asking people to help ensure the vulnerable and elderly aren't duped into handing over their life savings to scammers.
