Kilkenny Gardaí warn of new 'clever' but costly phone scam

Gardaí are continuing to warn members of the public of phone call scams.

It's after one woman in Kilkenny fell victim to a scam 'doing the rounds again' after she was charged following a missed call from a UK +44 number.

The scam catches out a phone user when they return a missed call.

Each call made to the number charges €25 to their billing account.

Gardaí say the woman in Kilkenny called back, not once but twice, and the trap subsequently cost her €50.

Gardaí are reminding people to 'please be vigilant.'
