Older people are being warned to beware of fradusters during the Covid-19 restrictions.
It was reported earlier this week that people in Co Kerry, wearing boiler suits, were calling to homes pretending to be from the HSE and offering fumigation services.
Meanwhile, Europol has warned that criminals carrying out cyber-crime attacks on organisations and individuals are using various malware packages to scam people.
Paddy Connolly, CEO of Age Action Ireland, says no volunteer or legitimate service provider would take offence at being asked for identification at the door.
