Tipperary gardaí renew phishing scam alert after €1,500 is taken from individual's account

The gardaí in Tipperary have warned that phishing scams are still widespread in the Nenagh District and becoming all the more sophisticated.

A recent incident involved a local individual transferring €1,500 to fraudsters after the victim received a text message from a person they believed to be a family member.

Also reported in recent days was a change scam at a Birdhill premises, where a shop attendant was tricked into tendering more change than was sought by an individual.
