POLICE WARN OF TELEPHONE SCAM
The RGP reminds the public of the need to remain alert to attempts by scammers to obtain personal details, which they will subsequently use to defraud the victim, or elicit money, usually on the promise of high returns. Whilst these attempts can take a variety of guises, the public can protect themselves by adopting simple measures.
'Don’t disclose personal details or banking information unless you know whom you are dealing with, particularly if a request for this information is made out of the blue. In case of doubt, contact the organisation purporting to be asking for the information on a known contact number and ascertain if they have been the ones contacting you.
'If you are not happy with a request, don’t respond to it. If an offer made seems too good to be true, it probably is,' said the RGP.
