And Garda Andy Neil has further details of these as he outlined to Sue Nunn on The Way It Is:
While on KCLR Live today, Garda Neil told of how they’ve been inundated in recent times with calls about such issues, with further in the last 24 hours; “More overnight, more frauds overnight, more technological frauds overnight, on top of the ones yesterday, we also have an investment fraud, be aware of these too, people shopping for cryptocurrency, a person shopping online for cryptocurrency is down over €24,000, the site has gone down, money apparently disappeared, be careful, watch your money”.
