COMMUNITY ALERT ADVICE:
The local branch of Community Alert raised concerns at its recent meeting about the increase in the number of people out walking at dusk without any reflective clothing. It is appealing to all walkers, whether committed or casual, to make a habit of wearing reflective vest/jacket at all times, day or night. These are free and can be picked up at the shop/Post Office at Ryan’s Daybreak, Lisselton, as well as any Garda Station. The committee also discussed the number of telephone scammers, the list of which is growing every week. Please be aware that one should never divulge any personal details over the phone. Some calls look like they are from a Dublin number (not a blocked number). Legitimate businesses will not, under any circumstances ask for PIN numbers, Passwords, PPS number, Credit Card and Bank Account numbers, etc over the phone. Calls from numbers beginning with +222, +235, +248, +674 and +676 seem to be doing the rounds at present. Advice is to not answer and under no circumstances should one re-dial the numbers. Also, be aware that one will not receive calls before 9.00am from finance houses. Please make everybody in the household aware of these numbers. Copying the numbers on to a card placed in a prominent place in the house is advisable to remind everybody of the on-going dangers.
