Surrey residents are urged not to fall for the latest money scam. 

Police have revealed fraudsters are attempting to obtain money by persuading victims that piles of banknote-sized paper in a trunk or a safe are actually currency notes that have been dyed to avoid detection by authorities.

Victims of the scheme are then persuaded to pay fees and purchase chemicals to remove the dye, with the promise of a share in the proceeds.

Anyone who believes they have been a victim of this scam is urged to call 101.
