More Scam Awareness….Be on your guard – ALWAYS.

Yesterday a neighbour reported a very intimidating phone call, which the caller said :-
There would be serious consequences if he did not phone the number given and that impending prosecution maybe taking place.
He put the phone down and did not call the number or 1471 to identify the callers number.
(This can be a scammed number)
