Fraudsters target MT customers

Fraudsters claiming to be from one of the Island's telecoms providers are targeting Manx residents.

Customers of Manx Telecom have reported receiving calls from scammers claiming to be from the company.

The caller tells the intended victim of the scam that they'll have their phone line cut off within 48 hours if they don't select an option using their keypad to discuss the matter further.

Manx Telecom is urging anyone who receives such a call to hand up and not select any options.
