Police in the Isle of Man are warning about a scam which is currently doing the rounds.
Several local businesses have been offered advertising space in what has been described as a 'police-related' publication.
A spokesman says the Isle of Man Constabulary is not currently involved in any such project.
Police are repeating the advice never to disclose any financial information during a 'cold call' telephone conversation.
They also say anybody considering taking up any offer should request full details in writing before doing so.
