Warning over new phone scam

Manx Telecom is warning over another fraud scam targeting Island residents.

Last week, police warned about fake Isle of Man Bank messages - people are thought to have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds in that con.

Now MT is warning fraudsters are phoning claiming to be from the company and threaten the recipient of the call that they'll have their phone line cut within 2 days, if they don't select an option on their keypad to 'discuss the matter further.'

However, Manx Telecom says it's a scam and if you receive the call to hang-up immediately.
