Kerry gardaí launch bogus callers card scheme

Gardaí in Kerry’s county town have come up with a strategy to prevent the targeting of vulnerable people, especially the elderly, for large sums of cash.

A Bogus Callers card scheme has been launched in Tralee following an increase in the number of people calling to people’s houses posing as a tradesman and offering to do work at often-exorbitant rates.

Contact cards will be issued to all Neighbourhood Watch representatives in the town for distribution in the coming weeks.
