Date Published: 28-Jan-2011
Gardai in Loughrea are advising people not to give out any personal information over the phone.
It's after several complaints about phone scams were made in the past few weeks.
Computer users are also being warned of a scam that's operating in Ireland after hundreds of thousands of calls have been made.
It involves a company cold-calling customers saying they're from Microsoft and offering help - before asking for credit-card details.
