Bogus Callers/Rogue Traders -

As we move into the winter months, this is a reminder for those with family members who may be susceptible to having bogus callers and rogue traders call to their homes.

Such callers may offer services such as power washing, painting, selling goods etc. They prefer to target the more vulnerable and people who live alone.

We advise people not to engage with such callers. Don't open your door to anyone before you are confident that they are known to you or that they give a genuine reason to be there. Use a chain lock for added security. These callers can be intimidating and often refuse to take no for an answer.

Contact Gardai immediately on 999/112 should you encounter such a caller and try to give as much information as possible; description of person, registration number of vehicle, direction of travel etc. We ask you to be vigilant when out and about and report suspicious people/vehicles to us immediately.

Please pass this advice on to those who may need a reminder.

REMEMBER IF IN DOUBT KEEP THEM OUT.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. USE THE DOOR CHAIN. LOOK FOR ID.
USE SERVICES OF PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND TRUST.

Halloween door hangers are available for collection at Ashbourne Garda Station, Bettystown Library and Duleek Library.

Halloween door hangers provide a safe and friendly way to inform trick-or-treaters that a household may or may not be participating in Halloween activities.

These door hangers were also distributed to schools in the Laytown, Bettystown and Donacarney area.

This initiative is aimed to assist vulnerable persons such as elderly residents, persons who have autism or others who may feel somewhat unsafe in their homes at Halloween.

Simply hang the door hanger on your front door.

Have a happy fun filled safe Halloween 👻🎃👻

Fireworks aren’t just dangerous; they cause real harm and life-changing injuries.

Every year, fireworks and bonfires cause injuries, fear, and damage in our communities - not to mention the distress caused to pets. Fireworks are illegal, and the penalties are serious.

This Halloween don’t take the risk. Let’s keep our communities and families safe.

Imagine this. Your boss calls and asks for your help. It’s urgent. It’s definitely him: you can see and hear him clearly. But what if it isn’t?
Deepfake technology has evolved rapidly. AI can now replicate real faces, voices and behaviours using just a few photos, videos or audio clips found online.
The threat extends beyond the workplace; scammers can impersonate friends and family, preying on emotion and creating a false sense of urgency to make you act quickly.
So what should you do?
➡️ Don’t rush. Even if you believe you’re speaking to someone you trust, take a moment to assess the situation.
➡️ Verify. Hang up and call back on their usual number.
➡️ Use a safeword. Establish a secret phrase with close contacts.
➡️ Secure your accounts. Turn on 2-factor authentication. Activate multi-step verification for large business transactions.
➡️ Report it. If you suspect a scam, contact law enforcement immediately.
➡️ Train your teams. Business owners: make sure your staff are trained to recognize phishing, vishing and other social engineering tactics.
Wait. Validate.
