A Co Down man almost lost £30,000 after a fraudster pretended to work for his bank in telephone scam.
Police are advising people to be on their guard following a recent incident where a victim was contacted by a man who claimed he worked for his bank. The man advised the victim that someone was attempting to transfer a large sum from his account and had added a new telephone number.
He was told that in order to reset the account to the correct telephone number he would receive a code via text message which he should provide to the man.
