Police are urging people to stay vigilant following recent bank scamming attempts.
The warning was issued after two incidents of attempted courier fraud on December 17 and December 19 in Cromer and Trunch.
While no money was lost in either case, officers are reminding the public to be cautious of the increasingly common scam.
Courier fraud typically involves fraudsters posing as officials - such as police officers, bank employees, or officials from government agencies - who call victims to obtain sensitive information or cash.

A spokesman for North Norfolk Police said: "The caller in both incidents called claimed to be from Barclays Fraud Department asking for the PIN number from the victim.
"They then tell them they need to put the card in an envelope and it will be collected.
"A person then attends in a DPD jacket to collect the card.
"No money was given in either interaction."
Police emphasised that neither officers nor banks will ever ask for PIN numbers, request money withdrawals or send couriers to collect cash or cards.
Norfolk Constabulary say anyone suspicious of a fraud attempt should contact them immediately.
