Fake fundraising pages have been created following the deaths of Scarlett and Jason Faulkner in Limerick.

Aisling and Josephine (Joanne) Duffy, who is the partner of Scarlett's brother Thomas posted a video warning the public about the scams.

They said several fundraiser pages have been created using their identities on social media.

“These pages are fake. The Faulkner family will be funding all their own funerals, they would never ask for any donations, they would never ask for any GoFundMe. We just want to let you know that, from Joanne and myself that there are fake pages that are being made," said Aisling Duffy, who does content creation under the name Aisling Unfiltered.

Joanne Duffy added: "It's a big family, they all have each other".

Sympathies poured in for the family of Scarlett Faulkner, after her brother, Jason Faulkner, tragically passed away on Sunday, 48 hours after her funeral was held.

Scarlett Faulkner died last Monday three weeks after she was allegedly assaulted at a roadside outside Birdhill village, north Tipperary.

A 16-year-old girl and a 40-year-old woman are before the courts charged in connection with the alleged attack on Ms Faulkner, on March 21 last.

Jason Faulkner, 30s, from Longpavement halting site, Limerick, was a pallbearer at his sister’s funeral, held at St Munchin’s Church, last Friday.

Relatives and friends of Mr Faulkner shared messages on social media of their shock and sorrow at hearing of his death, and paid tributes to him.

“Why god? Life is so cruel and shocking, Jason cousin, ur back with ur sister Scarlett, we will all love and miss yee forever, our hearts are in bits,” stated one of many posts shared online.

“I’m lost for words, seen this boy carrying his poor sisters coffin at her funeral and now he's gone to heaven, I’ve never seen sadder in my life,” another post said.

“Rest in peace to Banny & Mary’s son Jason, god help all he poor family only few days ago their daughter Scarlette died, god help ye all,” said another post.
