warning over phone scams
RESIDENTS are being warned to remain vigilant following reports of a recent phone scam.
Flintshire Trading Standards has said people have been receiving cold calls purporting to be from Sky.
A spokesman said: "The caller advises the consumer that they are calling regarding their internet speeds and requests the consumer reads out information on their Sky box.
"If you receive a call such as this, put the phone down, it is a scam.
"Do not give any personal or financial details. If consumers wish to check these details with Sky, contact them using their telephone number found on a previous Sky bill."
