Gardaí are issuing an urgent warning to businesses after a reported attempted scam involving the exchange of bank notes in Ballybofey today.
Businesses are being advised not to exchange large quantities of cash for anyone who approaches them with such a request.
Fraudsters may ask to swap a number of €50 notes for €20 notes, or to exchange euros for another currency.
Gardaí are urging business owners to make sure all staff are aware of the warning and remain vigilant.
