Officers urge public to be vigilant when answering the phone
Police are warning of scammers targeting Manx residents, who say their money isn't safe and needs to be moved.
Officers from the Northern Neighbourhood Policing Team received three reports of callers with 'posh, polite British accents' attempting to persuade the recipient to move their funds.
One person received calls throughout the day, while another was told their life savings had been compromised.
Police say as more people are spending time at home due to coronavirus, it's important to be vigilant when answering the phone.
