Neighbourhood Watch are warning residents that it is the time of year when telephone scams  come to the fore.

They say there are currently a number of different scams doing the rounds.

"Please remember never to give any information of your banking details to anyone. The banks do not need to know your details, remember they issued you with them. You do not need to verify anything for them that even includes the security code on the bank of your debit/credit card," they warn.

"Just be very mindful of any phone calls or emails you might receive requesting these details. Can I recommend that if you do receive unwanted phone calls you register with the Telephone Preference company and you also make sure that you have anti-virus software on your computer."
