A WINCHESTER theatre is warning people of a scam after a bogus phone call.
Theatre Royal, based in Jewry Street, said that a member of the public received a call from a withheld number asking for card payment information.
The caller asked the person to confirm a ticket booking for Stick Man Live and requested their card details for payment.
The theatre sent an email to the box office mailing list this afternoon to warn people.
It said: “We never give our customers information out to third parties and the member of public in question was not a Theatre Royal booker.
“If you do receive a call of this nature please notify us and report it to Action Fraud.”
