Watchdog says phone "fraud team" are doing it, not preventing it

The government's cybersecurity experts are warning about scam phone calls being made to Island residents.

The Cyber Security Centre says it's had a number of reports from people contacted by people claiming to be the "Isle of Man Fraud Team".

On social media, the centre says the calls try to panic people and pressure them into handing over their details.

It says if you get a call, you should hang up, and never share personal, banking or security details.
