Gardai in Nenagh are warning the public about a new telephone scam.
Victims of the scam have reported receiving a call from someone claiming to be a part of a well known service provider, informing them that there is a problem with their service.
The fraudster then informs the victim to carry out a series of actions on their computer which hands over remote access.
The ploy has been successful twice today, with sums of 5 and 10 thousand euro being siphoned from accounts in each instance.
Sergeant Declan O’Carroll is with Nenagh Garda station, he is warning the public to be vigilant
