Fri, 17 Mar 2017

Police are urging the Manx public to be cautious when receiving calls about PPI.

The warning comes after a local resident was contacted by from someone claiming to work for the UK Ministry of Justice asking to collect a money-gram or postal order.

Officers say if you're not expecting a payout this type of call is most likely a scam.

The police also advise searching a phone number online if you receive an unexpected call to see if the caller's claims are genuine.
