Gardai have issued a warning to homeowners across the country as a new scam targets a number of people in Co Cork.
According to reports, officers have been made aware of ‘painting scams’ occurring in the southern county which have led to a number of disputes.
From the poor quality of painting, to work ceasing immediately after payment, Sergeant John Kelly of Fermoy Garda Station told people to be wary of those offering to paint sheds and houses.
