DYFED Powys Police is warning residents in the Tivyside area to be on guard against scam telephone calls claiming to be from BT.

They have received several calls from worried householders who have been targeted by fraudsters who claim to be from BT saying that there is a problem with the internet connection.

A police spokesman said: “BT will never ask for remote access to your computer or access to your online banking. Please help spread the word and tell your friends and family.”
