Capital of Culture scam warning

THE organisers of Cork’s term as European Capital of Culture have been hit by a merchandise scam.

A warning has been issued by Cork 2005 telling businesses and the general public to be wary of the scam. They also want to be contacted by anyone approached by the group behind the scam.

The ruse came to light after a number of businesses were approached by a group touting unofficial Cork 2005 merchandise.
