Posting on the PSNI Craigavon Facebook page an officer said, “We have again been alerted to a number of telephone frauds where criminals are posing as telecoms/banks/internet providers and asking customers to download apps or allow access to their computers/tablets.
“The end result is usually an unexpected withdrawal from your bank account. The latest fraud resulted in 12k being taken from an account.
