POLICE have warned residents to be careful of handing over personal details after a Dubbo resident alerted them to a scam attempt.
A spokesman for Orana Local Area Command said the astute resident reported a failed attempt by someone claiming to be from the "Australian federal government reclaim department" to lure the resident into parting with cash via Western Union deposit.
The would-be fraudster had told the resident that they were entitled to a GST refund.
The police spokesman urged anyone who received a similar call not to be fooled into parting with their cash, rather, they should find out which agency has called and check its credentials before providing personal information.
