There is concern in Tipperary over a group of men offering '"cut price tarmac work".
Councillor Liam Browne has said a number of people have contacted him over the past 24 hours, about a group of men offering "cut price tarmac work", claiming that its leftover from a bigger job.
Cllr Browne added: "It's a scam, and when people have complained, they have become physically threatening
"They sound like they are from the north and are driving a silver pick up with road signs in the back.
"The guards have been called on them, but in case you have elderly or vulnerable neighbours, please let them know (especially if not online), and keep a look out.
"They really seemed genuine at the start, but if it happened to an older vulnerable person they wouldn’t sleep a wink.
"It's happened in the Rosegreen area, but it could be in different areas as well."
