Gardai in Meath have issued an urgent scam warning after a man impersonating a member of the force called to elderly women's homes.
Two incidents happened last Friday, 30 September where a lone male approached an elderly women's front doors pretending to be a garda. One on occasion, a man asked if the woman had lost a sum of money before producing it.
He even had what appeared to be garda identification. The close call happened in the Carnaross area of Kells at around 11.45am
