Beware Text Scam

We recently received a message from a local resident warning of a scam he received.

He received a text on his mobile phone saying that EON were pursing him for recovery of a debt and asking him to ring a number. Never having had an EON account he rang the number ( 03330 024842) and it became clear the person answering was phishing or seeking to obtain personal details from this resident and the text was false.

Please be wary of such texts.
