Police warning over iTunes scam

Police have been made aware some members of the public have recently been victims of an iTunes giftcard scam.

There are various methods of scamming people, but one elderly Oban woman recently believed she was in an online relationship for several months witha man who was abroad. Once he had her trust, the man said he needed her to buy him iTunes giftcards and vouchers and send him the codes from the cards.
