A MID ARGYLL pensioner targeted by cruel scammers using scare tactics has warned others to be suspicious of strange telephone calls.
The fraudsters employed a known routine involving an attempt to frighten the victim into parting with personal financial details.
The Ardrishaig lady on the receiving end did not want to be named, but told the Advertiser she had a call purporting to be from the tax authorities to say that a criminal case had been raised against her by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
