New scam alert highlighted by the Gardai Published: Friday, 23 April 2021 06:42
Gardaí are warning the public in relation to recent attempted fraud incidents where scammers are impersonating members of the Gardaí.
It’s a slightly different variant of the scam which aims to obtain personal information such as bank account details and/or PPS number.
In this latest scam a phone call from a number similar to the Garda Confidential Line contacts a person stating they are investigating fraud activity or investigating a crime and require your details to progress the investigation.
The phone call comes from 0-1800-666-111. However, the actual Garda Confidential Line number is 1800-666-111 and does not make outgoing calls.
