Police have issued a warning to Isle of Man Bank customers about a text message scam.

Sergeant Alan Shimmin said there had been reports from residents today (Thursday) that they have received a text message purporting to be from the bank.

He said: ’This appears to be a scam. If you follow the link it will ask you to provide your full customer number, PIN number and password.

’Banks do not ask for those details so please do not follow those instructions. If in doubt please contact your bank.’
