The Department of Social Protection has issued a warning over a recent scam that has been catching people out.
It seems to be following the same format of recent fraudsters - which the public is becoming savvy to - but some people will naturally be convinced by the calls and texts.
In a statement published today, the Department said: “We are aware of fraudulent phone calls and text messages, claiming to be from the department or other organisation, seeking your PPS Number, bank account details or personal information.”
