SCAM CALLS:
A number of reports have been received about scam calls in Limerick, Cork & Kerry. They are now showing up local codes, e.g. 061,021 to give the impression that they are the real thing. They sound very professional, sometimes they know your name and it is so easy to be fooled by them. However, just think for a moment... and realise that your bank / credit card company/ revenue etc will not ring looking for your details. Never give any information over the phone........ not even date of birth.
