Gardaí in Donegal have issued another alert to the public over fraud attempts.
Scammers may change their stories or methods but their goal is always the same – they want to access your sensitive information and your money.
Gardai have issued the following advice;

Do not engage with unknown callers.
Do not return a call to any phone number that you are not familiar with.
Do not click on any links in emails or text messages.
Do not send money.
Do not download APPs / remote access software.
Do not withdraw money and lodge it into cryptocurrency ATMs.
Screenshot any suspicious emails, text messages or other communication.
If concerned, please contact your local Garda station.
