"It is highly unlikely you will get your money back"
The Isle of Man Constabulary has renewed warnings of scam calls being made whereby criminals are impersonating Manx police officers.
Issues with your bank all the way to investigating fraudulent activity on your behalf are some of the reasons scammers are using to attempt to deceive residents into handing over bank details.
Officers are advising hanging up the phone if you receive a suspicious call or simply to not respond, if via text.
Detective Constable Hayley Curtis says it's a sophisticated operation:
New CRHS and sports complex could cost around £62 million
Increase in penalty notices for parking on pavements
Suspended sentence for doorman who punched woman
Charities mark Mental Health Awareness Week
Manx Wildlife Trust officially opens new nature reserve
Emergency services respond to structure fire in Castletown
