Kerry Gardaí are warning of a fraud scam targeting people on social media.

Gardaí say a person in the county received a message on Facebook purporting to be their sister in law; with details of another person who was allegedly arranging grants for home improvements for elderly people.

The injured party received an IBAN which was flagged as suspicious, before sending a substantial amount of money to the scammers through iTunes vouchers.
