Limerick Gardaí are alerting residents to a sophisticated scam involving fraudsters collecting bank cards directly from individuals at their homes. Currently, three distinct scam variations are circulating throughout County Limerick. In a recent incident, a woman handed over her bank card to a fraudster who presented themselves at her front door. Authorities are urging the public to be vigilant and never disclose personal banking information or hand over cards to unsolicited callers. Gardaí emphasize that legitimate bank or Garda personnel will *never* request such information or cards at a person’s home. Residents are advised to verify the identity of any caller claiming official status and to contact their bank or local Garda station directly if they have any concerns. This warning follows a rise in reports of similar fraudulent activities targeting vulnerable individuals.
