Police warn of psychic scam

Letters attempt to trick victim into paying for luck or protection

Police are urging Manx residents to be vigilant of scam letters claiming to offer help from a psychic or clairvoyant circulating on the Island.

The Northern Neighbourhood Policing Team warns these scams try to trick the victim into buying a lucky charm, only to be sent a worthless item or nothing at all.

The letters can also claim to see a fake future event and offer protection in return for payment.

Officers are urging anyone who receives such a letter to put in straight in the bin.
