Gardaí have issued a warning of a scam circulating on email and via post where people are accused of sexual offences on minors and urged to contact a fake Garda email address.
The letter being received by people in various parts of the country appears to be printed on headed paper from Garda HQ in the Phoenix Park but officers are advising that the document is entirely fraudulent.
The letter states: "We have initiated legal proceedings against you following seizure by cyber-infiltration for: child pornography, paedophilia, cyber-pornography and exhibitionism.
