Beware of phone scammers operating across south Derry - Kearney
“Over the past couple of weeks a number of incidents have been reported of repeated nuisance calls especially in the BT46 area. On one occasion a local resident was woken from her bed in the early morning on four occasions to answer the phone,” said Councillor Kearney.
“The victims of this harassment were then called by an organisation that offers to end all nuisance calls for a fee. This is highly suspect and would appear to be part of a scam. The local accents of those offering the service would also suggest that they are operating from the locality.”
