Essex Police are appealing for help to find a Poplar man after a woman in her 70s was conned out of cash.
Officers want to speak with Abul Sadruddin, 24, in connection with a reported courier fraud on Canvey Island, in which the woman was tricked into handing over a four-figure sum of cash.
Police received reports on December 4, 2019 that a man had called the victim and told her she was being scammed by her bank.
She was told to withdraw thousands before handing it to a man posing as a courier.
Mr Sadruddin, who is described as around 5ft 7in with a goatee style beard, has links to Tower Hamlets and Canvey Island in Essex.
