Gardaí renew appeal over bogus callers

Gardaí in a nearby division have renewed their appeal to the community to be vigilant in relation to bogus callers.

“They prey particularly on the elderly who are living alone and have many methods of deception whether selling goods or looking to carry out work,” gardai posted on social media, appealing in particular in relation to one male said to be travelling alone who visits the elderly on the pretence of selling clothes.

“He usually travels in English registered cars and is known to be active within the Monaghan and Cavan areas.”

Anyone with information relating to this man or indeed any similar bogus caller is asked to call their local garda station.
