Please be aware of a telephone scam going around the local area. Several residents have been contacted to say-”there has been an amount of money attempted to be taken from their card (credit or debit) for purchases from different online retailers. If this is correct press 1 to authorise or 2 to be put through to the security department.”
DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING as it will take you through to the scammers pretending to be security and obtain your details.
If you wish, you can report the incident to:
