NI Football Fans Warned About Scam

Fans of Northern Ireland's football team are being warned to check their bank accounts after a supporter who travelled to the recent match against Bosnia-Herzegovina discovered his card had been 'skimmed' by fraudsters.

Gary McAllister, a spokesman for the Amalgamation of Official Northern Ireland Supporter's Clubs, tweeted the warning yesterday, in the wake of the 2-0 loss in Sarajevo on Monday 15 October.

"Word of warning for fans who travelled to Bosnia-Herzegovina- a fan has contacted me to say that his card was skimmed at an ATM and a number of attempts have been made to use the card by the scammers," Mr McAllister stated.

"Check with your bank, if you have any concerns."
