Gardai in Offaly issue warning over scam calls

“Some people are still falling for their stories and providing personal details otherwise they wouldn't continue with their efforts,” gardai stated. 

Gardai said emails, text messages or calls from Amazon will never ask you for personal information.

“If you receive a suspicious phone call, email, or text message claiming to be from Amazon, asking for payment, personal information or offering a refund you do not expect, please do not share any personal information, and disconnect any phone call immediately,” Gardai said.
