"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:
UK Government under scrutiny over Manx assisted dying legislation
Men jailed for £49,000 cocaine ferry importation plot
Warning in place as hill snow expected overnight
Additional payments to Meat Plant Board have stopped, says DEFA
