Gardaí warn of fraudulent calls in relation to 'a hit-and-run collision'
‘The call is a scam and members of the public should be advised not to engage or provide any personal or financial information during the call,’ An Garda Siochána say
An Garda Siochána have said they have become aware of fraudulent communications, namely phone calls, occurring in the Donegal region.
“These phone calls are being received UK (0044), Irish (00353) and private phone numbers and feature an automated message stating that the recipient’s vehicle has allegedly been involved in a hit-and-run collision,” they said.
“The recipient is then instructed to press 1 to connect to members of An Garda Síochána in relation to the matter. The call is a scam and members of the public should be advised not to engage or provide any personal or financial information during the call. If you believe you’ve engaged with such a scam, please contact your local Garda station.”
