Gardaí in Clare are reassuring the victims of scams that incidents of this kind will be investigated.
It follows the report of an incident last Monday evening in the College Green area of Ennis.
A man purporting to be a salesman for Phonewatch managed to convince the residents of a house there to purchase an upgrade package which they paid for by credit card, using a handheld terminal that the man was carrying with him.

But later that night, the householders realised the wrong card had been given back to them and that three hundred euro was missing from their account.
Clare’s Crime Prevention Officer, Sergeant Tríona Brooks has this advice for anyone who thinks they may have been a victim of this type of crime.
