WARNING: Kilkenny people targeted in raft of online scams, one local business hit for ‘six figure sum’
Kilkenny people have been urged to be on the alert for a raft of online scams doing the rounds in the countdown to Christmas.
Local gardai say an increasing number of businesses and householders have been targeted by fraudsters in recent weeks.
Business have been the victim of a so-called ‘redirection fraud’, where con artists pretend to be a supplier or service provider for your business in order to trick you into changing bank account payee details.
They contact you to tell you that their bank account details have changed and to ask you to send all payments to a new account.
A source told KilkennyNow.ie one local business was hit for a “six figure sum” in recent weeks.
Local householders have also been targeted in a bitcoin fraud, which is essentially a criminal pyramid scheme.
One of the most common recent scams involves fraudsters who falsely claim to represent the DHL delivery service and asks victims to pay for a small delivery charge to claim their online purchase. Once they have the person’s private banking details they then proceed to clean out their account.
Local Crime Prevention Officer, Sergeant Peter McConnon, again appealed to people to be extremely cautious for online scams in the countdown to Christmas.
Sgt McConnon told KilkennyNow.ie: “We’ve see a huge amount of cases where people have been contacted by fraudsters in recent weeks and I am again urging everyone to never give out their personal banking details online.”
Sgt McConnon also urged householders and businesses to install up-to-date firewall protection software to ensure their devices are protected.

A common misperception is that lost or stolen bitcoin is gone forever. without knowing that, as Blockchain Forensics Continues to Evolve, Identifying, Tracing and Recovering Stolen, Hacked or Scammed Crypto Assets may have already become easier than traditional asset recovery. as easy as it is ONLY A Very Very few Professional Recovery Experts and Hackers can get this type of job done, TO Perform or Invest and hold a certain Amount of Bitcoin you have to verify your Identity as Required by the Law. A few Expert have found a way to exploit this Verification and use it to their advantage to Trace and identify Bitcoin wallet and the Identity of the person who owns the Wallet which Victims sent Bitcoin or other Crypto Asset to.
IF You ever lost your funds to an investment scam, Bitcoin Mining Scam or any Type of Scam what you need to do is Hire a Professional to get the job done. Also be very careful of who you hire to get the job done, as MORE Than 95% of people who claim they can Recover Lost, Stolen, Hacked, or Scammed Bitcoin are all Scammers themselves trying to rip you of Whatever is remaining of your Hard Earn Money WHICH was lost to Scammers.
If you ever need to HÏŘË a professional to help you recover your bitcoin or funds either stolen, HÄČKËD or ŠČÄMMËD, simply send an ema!| to ‘’FÅSTŘËČÕVËŘÝ02 HÃŤ GMÃÍĹ ČÕMË’’ . he is a professional recovery agent who recently recovered 500,000USD worth of Bitcoin I lost to fake Bitcoin Mining investment website. he does not charge a penny until after the job is done. he has been tested and Trusted by Several Victims of investment scam I know.
