Gardai are asking the public to be vigilant following the emergence of a new sex crime investigation scam.
The scam impersonates An Garda Siochana and may trick victims into handing over thousands of euro. The email says that the computer the email has been sent to is being seized in relation to investigations into a number of sex crimes.
An Garda Síochána is advising the public that it "does not and will not make contact with a person under investigation in this way."
