The tour manager of Hebridean Island Cruises says an unusual scam offering people the chance to work on the Manx pleasure cruiser MV Karina also caused her company some concern.

Spokesperson Jane Yates says it came to her attention through a strange call from a member of the public, asking about job opportunities on the Karina:
