Listen Back: Warnings about online scam targeting grieving and vulnerable Monaghan community

Scammers are preying on the grieving and vulnerable at an alarming rate.

While it's nothing new for fraudsters to pick the death notice of a recently deceased person and re-post it to social media advising people they can pay to view the funeral service online, this time the con artists have preyed on people mourning the death of a local child in tragic circumstances.

Monaghan County Councillor David Maxwell regularly alerts followers of his social media account of the latest scams.  Cllr Maxwell is a vociferous critic of this type of deception. This time he has spoken out about it to Zoe Tunney.
