Multiple callers rang into Joe Duffy’s Liveline on Monday to complain about scammers using emotionally charged stories in a bid to con money off unsuspecting people, with a few callers ringing about the same ‘Canadian sounding’ woman.
Speaking on Monday’s edition of the popular lunchtime show, one caller rang to tell Joe how she had been out for one drink after work with friends in Dublin city last Thursday when a woman approached her with a sad story and that she needed bus money to get home.
“I was out for a pint after work with my friends,” the caller explained to Joe Duffy during the show.
