Waterford Hospice issues warning over bogus collectors

Waterford  Hospice has issued a warning to householders advising them against bogus charity callers claiming to be from the organisation.

Following claims of a number of reported fraudulent callers, Waterford Hospice confirmed it does not and will not be collecting door-to-door donations.

A number of emails and calls were made to the charity claiming a young man with a Waterford accent had called to houses on the Cork Road looking for money and had shown householders a white card with “hospice” written on the front.
