The Liberal has received a number of messages from our readers that they’re again receiving calls from Tunisia and Senegal in an effort to obtain their personal bank details.
Does +252 7 2617230 look familiar? No, ok then. How about +387 63 372 506?
Scam artists are ringing Irish numbers trying to get them to phone the numbers back in an effort to hack their credit and/or bill.
The countries that have listed numbers that readers are reporting to us are from:
Tunisia
Senegal
South Sudan
Uganda
People are advised to NOT answer any of these numbers (obviously unless you recognise it as someone you know who is living there) and to NEVER call them back.
It’s advised people share this information with their friends, especially their older friends or neighbours in an effort to alert them of this phone scam.
