Kerry Gardaí are urging people to exercise caution around scam phone calls which are in operation.

It’s after a number of people in the county were scammed out of substantial sums of money recently.

One received a call from a person purporting to be from the Credit Union, and that fraudulent transactions had occurred in the individuals account.

Both later discovered that access had been gained to their bank accounts, via their mobile phones.
