Gardaí warn of phone credit scam
A Garda spokesman said the scam involves people going into shops looking for credit top-ups, handing over a credit card to pay, using their mobile phone to take a photograph of the top-up number while the card is being processed, feigning surprise when the credit card doesn’t work and leaving the shop with the number stored on their mobile.
Gardaí are looking at CCTV footage in various shops in an attempt to trace those involved.
