Bank staff alerted police and trading standards officers to a suspected fraud in Lowestoft.
An 87-year-old man went into a bank in the town on Wednesday to get money to pay for work being carried out on his home.
However staff became concerned when the man asked to withdraw a large amount of money and called the police.
The police then spoke to officers from Suffolk Trading Standards and arrested a 26-year-old man at the bank on suspicion of fraud. Another man, aged 32, was arrested in Lowestoft shortly afterwards.
