The PSNI are warning people who use Revolut cards to be vigilant after a woman was scammed out of £2,400.
Scamwise NI have issued the warning on behalf of the police after a number of reports of fraud activity in relation to the popular card.
In one case a lady was using her Revolut card, which is linked to an app on your phone, while on a trip to London and encountered some difficulties.
She looked up contact details for the company online and spoke to a man who asked fro control of her phone to fix the problem. Unwittingly she gave him her details and he proceeded to defraud her of £2,400.
A spokesperson for ScamwiseNI explained: "Realising quickly what she'd done, she contacted her bank and managed to get her money back.
"Over the weekend, PSNI have received more reports similar to the one detailed above. We want you to be extra careful over the holiday period should you be travelling and you find yourself in a similar situation.
"NEVER allow anyone to have remote access to your accounts or devices unless you're 100% certain of who they are!"
You can phone the PSNI on 101 if you are the victim of a crime or 999 in an emergency. Fraud can also be reported to Action Fraud by calling 0300 123 2040.
