Beware of scam calls across the region

Gardai across the Shannonside Northern Sound region are warning people to be cautious over the rise of scam calls in recent weeks.

Scams have been doing the rounds across the country over the past several months, with increasingly elaborate attempts by swindlers to steal people's information and money.

The latest of these reported across the region are callers purporting to be from Eircom and informing customers over 'issues' with their broadband connection.

Gardai have said that you should never engage with these scammers and never disclose personal or financial information.
