Elderly people warned of fraudsters posing as post office or bank staff
The fraudsters, who work as a pair, note where the vulnerable person collects their pension and call to their home afterwards.
A similar hoax was recorded by gardaí in Co Tipperary last month and in Headford, Co Kerry, as well as Skibbereen and Terelton, Co Cork, this month, says West Cork crime prevention officer Ian O’Callaghan. A number of the victims handed over their pension.
