"It is highly unlikely you will get your money back"
The Isle of Man Constabulary has renewed warnings of scam calls being made whereby criminals are impersonating Manx police officers.
Issues with your bank all the way to investigating fraudulent activity on your behalf are some of the reasons scammers are using to attempt to deceive residents into handing over bank details.
Officers are advising hanging up the phone if you receive a suspicious call or simply to not respond, if via text.
Detective Constable Hayley Curtis says it's a sophisticated operation:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
