Scam caller targeting pub landlords

Sat, 21 Mar 2015

Pub landlords and local businesses are being targeted by scam callers.

Police say they've received a number of calls from people this week who are concerned.

A male voice, using a number of different aliases, calls from a withheld number trying to sell advertising space.

He claims he's from "the police" or from the "Isle of Man Police Federation" and says he needs money for sponsorship for a new drink drive leaflet.

Police are reminding people not to give out any personal information or bank details out over the telephone.
