Mayo County Board warn fans about cash scam in build-up to All-Ireland

Mayo GAA officials have warned fans about fraudulent fundraising activities in the build up to the county’s All-Ireland minor and senior football finals on Sept 22.

Mayo PRO Aiden McLoughlin last night revealed the board has been informed of scams in Ireland and the US in recent days.

McLoughlin said: “The scam is done via telephone where fans receive a call from someone claming to be contacting them on behalf of the Mayo County Board. They are then asked if they would be in a position to contribute financially to support the minor and senior teams and, if they could not do that, if they would be able to provide them with contact details of others who might be able to do so.
