Police have issued a warning after two elderly women were scammed out of thousands of pounds.

West Yorkshire Police sent out a fraud alert after the women fell prey to a professional sounding automated message about their bank account.

The message claimed activity had been detected on their bank account and asked them to press one or two on their phone if this was not recognised.
