Businesses in Northern Ireland are being warned about a scam in which they are asked to pay to register the domain name of their firm. The PSNI's fraud unit has said it has received a number of inquiries from business people in the province.
The firms have been "cold called" by someone claiming to be from Companies House in Swansea.
The caller asks for �25 in return for registering the name.
The police say although this is not illegal, businesses should ignore the call and report the matter to trading standards officers.
