Gardai in Tipperary Town are warning homeowners to be aware of people calling to houses claiming to be collecting the Household Charge.
They are particularly targetting elderly people – they are trying to collect the €100 charge and telling people that a reciept will be issued in the post over the coming week.
Gardai are reminding people that the charge is not being collected door-to-door and are advising people to contact their local station if they are suspicious of anyone calling to their house.
